If you were a fan of Starbucks’ Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato, you’re not alone! This tropical-meets-chocolatey drink debuted in 2016 as part of their summer lineup and quickly developed a loyal following.

Unfortunately, it’s been discontinued for years—but the good news? You can easily recreate this dreamy iced drink at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Whether you’re craving a mocha with a twist or just looking to switch up your usual caramel macchiato order, this copycat recipe lets you bring back the nostalgic flavor anytime, anywhere.

Why You’ll Love This Drink

This macchiato is the perfect blend of rich espresso, creamy coconut milk, sweet white chocolate, and bold chocolate and caramel drizzles. It’s layered, luxurious, and has that signature Starbucks-style finish without the long drive-thru wait.

How To Order at Starbucks?

If you want to buy this drink to try before commiting to gathering all the ingredients, here’s TWO different ordering options:

Ask for an ICED CARAMEL MACCHIATO WITH COCONUT MILK, AND SUB THE VANILLA SYRUP FOR 2 PUMPS WHITE CHOCOLATE SAUCE, AND THEN ADD MOCHA SAUCE DRIZZLE (YES, KEEP THE CARAMEL DRIZZLE TOO).

or you could also order an ICED WHITE MOCHA UPSIDE DOWN WITH COCONUT MILK, NO WHIPPED CREAM, AND ADD CARAMEL DRIZZLE AND MOCHA DRIZZLE.

Ingredients

• 1–2 tablespoons white chocolate sauce (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
• 8 ounces coconut milk (chilled; barista-style is ideal for creaminess)
• Ice
• 2 shots espresso (about 2 ounces)
• Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
• Mocha/Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Add the base:
   In a tall cup or glass, add the white chocolate sauce and pour in the coconut milk. Stir to combine so the white chocolate fully dissolves.
2. Add ice:
   Fill the glass with ice, leaving a little room on top for your espresso.
3. Top with espresso:
   Brew espresso shots and slowly pour over the ice. This creates that beautiful layered effect you’d expect from a Starbucks macchiato.
4. Drizzle and finish:
   Drizzle the top with caramel sauce and mocha/chocolate sauce. Don’t be shy—this is what gives the drink its signature flavor and marble-like presentation.
5. Sip and enjoy!
   Grab a straw, give it a little swirl if you’d like, and enjoy your at-home Starbucks favorite.

Customize It Your Way

Want to switch it up? Try these variations:

• Make it hot: For a hot version, steam/warm the coconut milk before pouring over the white chocolate sauce, and don’t add any ice!
• Make it blended: Toss everything into a blender for a frozen version.
• Add whipped cream: For an indulgent twist, top it off with coconut or dairy whipped cream.
• Up the espresso: Add in 1-2 more espresso shots for an extra strong beverage!
• Make it dairy-free: Use a dairy free white chocolate, caramel, and mocha sauce.
• Lower the sugar: Use sugar free versions of the white chocolate, caramel and mocha sauce.
• Make it decaf: Cut the caffeine and use decaf coffee for the espresso.

Even though Starbucks retired the Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato, there’s no reason you have to live without it this summer. With this easy copykat recipe, you can enjoy this rich, coconutty, espresso drink right from your kitchen—no line, no app, and no barista training required.
