Starbucks Strawberry Iced Mocha

Strawberry Iced Mocha is a customized Starbucks Iced Mocha and it’s considered a secret menu drink since it’s not on the official menu.

This drink is an Iced Mocha with strawberry cold foam. The bottom is the Iced Mocha and the top is the strawberry cold foam.

Starbucks baristas aren’t trained to make secret menu drinks so don’t order a secret menu drink by name. Instead, give them the recipe (ingredients and any specific instructions).

You’ll have to order this drink in person since there isn’t a way to request strawberry cold foam on the app.

How It Tastes

It’s rich, creamy, and so good!

The first sip is all strawberry cold foam and it’s so decadent and fruity. Then the next few sips are with the Ice Mocha, which is made using a bittersweet chocolate sauce, so you start tasting the dark chocolate mixed with the flavors of strawberries and cream.

It’s like having strawberry-cream covered chocolate rather than a chocolate-covered strawberry.

What’s in the Drink

Base drink: Iced Mocha
Secret menu items start with a standard Starbucks drink, and this one is an Iced Mocha. It’s an iced drink made with milk, mocha sauce, espresso, and topped with whipped cream.
Customizations: Add vanilla sweet cream cold foam that’s blended with strawberry puree
The strawberry cold foam will replace the usual whipped cream that’s on a regular Iced Mocha. This drink needs to be ordered in person since it’s the only way to get the strawberry puree blended into the vanilla sweet cream cold foam.

Questions You May Have

What is strawberry cold foam?

Strawberry cold foam is vanilla sweet cream cold foam blended with strawberry puree sauce. It’s not an official Starbucks menu item so you must order it in person.

Do customized drinks cost more?

Yes, almost all customized drinks cost more than the base drink because of the additions. For example, strawberry cold foam will cost $2.25 extra on top of the drink.

Does this drink have caffeine?

Yes. The Iced Mocha has caffeine from the espresso and mocha sauce. A grande iced mocha has 175 mg of caffeine, and for comparison, the same sized iced coffee has 165 mg and cold brew has 205 mg. If you want to reduce the amount of caffeine, you can customize the espresso shot(s) in this drink for 1/2 decaf or fully decaf.

Can I order this all year?

As with any customized drink, as long as the ingredients are available (iced mocha, vanilla sweet cream cold foam, and strawberry puree), you can order it year round. Just keep in mind that with any customized drink, you will need to know what’s included so you can tell the barista how to make it. Starbucks baristas are not trained on how to make secret menu drinks.

Are new drinks added to the secret menu?

Yes! There’s no secret menu available at Starbucks but customers are always coming up with new modifications and fun combinations. You can come up with your own, post it to social media, and it could catch on and become a secret menu drink — or even an official Starbucks drink, which is what happened to the Pink Drink!
