How to Make this Starbucks Raspberry Mocha Recipe

Step Two: Add the half and half. Stir.
Step Three: Add the chocolate syrup. You can also add the simple syrup at this point if using.

Top Tip
You can easily turn this into a delicious iced coffee by letting the coffee cool and adding ice cubes!
Substitutions
- Milk - If you don't want to add half and half, you can use oat milk, almond milk, whole milk, soy milk, skim milk, or any type of milk option that you want.
- Syrup - For a fun syrup, consider using white mocha sauce to really kick up the flavor.
- Hot chocolate - Want to share this drink with the kids? Skip out on the coffee and use hot chocolate instead.
Variations
- Cocoa powder - You can add a darker coloring and chocolate flavoring by adding a bit of cocoa powder.
- Coffee - Change the type of coffee used. Dark roast, cold brew - even decaf!
- Use shots of espresso - Don't have coffee in this house? Espresso works as well.

Equipment
You really don't need any special equipment to make this drink recipe. Make sure that you have a coffee cup to get started!
Storage
For the best results, make this drink fresh to enjoy. If you do have to make it early or have some leftovers, be sure to stir well before serving. I also wouldn't add any toppings until right before it's being served.
Common Questions
You can. Since you only need hot coffee for this recipe, you can use hot decaffeinated coffee as your coffee of choice. It's a simple switch that will have no effect on the flavor outcome at all.
Whipped cream and syrup tend to be the popular choices, but you could also sprinkle mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or even swap the raspberry jam for a peppermint stick for stirring and fun mint flavor.Â
You can! While it was created to be a hot beverage, adding chilled coffee or ice cubes is a simple way to make it iced. I always add the ice cubes right before serving it so that it doesn't water down the rest of the drink. Once I add the ice cubes, I then add the toppings, and enjoy.
