Notes
For an Iced Cranberry White Mocha, you could also make the iced white mocha in the following order: 1. Cranberry Syrup, 2, White Chocolate Sauce, 3. Espresso, 4. Milk, 5. Ice, 6. (Optional) Whipped Cream. This is my preferred mocha order, but the drink will look much more aesthetic with pretty layers if the espresso is poured over the top of the drink, rather than mixed in with the milk and sweeteners.
