If you’ve ever been to Starbucks, looked at the menu and couldn’t decide what to have because there are so many options, prepare to know, there are even more options!

These options are known as Starbucks Secret Menu drinks and are unofficial Starbucks beverages created by Starbucks fans.

It’s basically a way to customize a drink. If you can ask for a Secret Menu drink with clear instructions, you may be able to get it, though it may also depend on the barista and location.

Or you can also try to making one of them at home.

This includes the Salted Caramel White Mocha Cold Brew. It’s made with cold brew, white chocolate sauce, ice and a layer of salted cold foam on top with a drizzle of caramel sauce.

The combo is a delicious cold brew great to start the day or as a afternoon treat. Here’s how to make it at home.

Salted Caramel White Mocha Cold Brew Ingredients

½ cup cold brew concentrate (I used Stone Cold Jo coffee beans)
2 tbsp white chocolate sauce
Ice
¼ cup milk
⅛ tsp salt
Drizzle of caramel sauce

Tips for Making Salted Caramel White Mocha Cold Brew

Cold Brew

I used Stone Cold Jo coffee beans.

Making cold brew coffee is easy, but you’ll need plenty of time to let the coffee steep. It takes around 12-15 hours to steep the ground coffee in room temperature water. Note that you do not need to use coffee beans that are labeled as cold brew coffee beans and can use any of your favorite coffee beans.

Check out our guide to making cold brew coffee at home – with 3 easy methods.

I used the French press method by grinding the coffee beans with my Hario Skerton grinder coarsely, then placing it in the French press. I add water, mix, then place the lid on top. After 12 hours, I push the plunger down and pour the cold brew coffee into a mason jar to store in the refrigerator.

White Chocolate Sauce

I used Torani White Chocolate Sauce.

You can also melt white chocolate chips and mix that in with your coffee.

Cold Foam Liquid Ratio

I made my cold foam non dairy this time. So I used oat milk and frothed it in my milk frother. It doesn’t hold up as well as my usual ratio of 3 tablespoons of skim milk and 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. But it will still create a layer on top of the cold brew.

Check out my guide to making cold brew here. I go in depth with other ratios you can use, including alternatives if you don’t have a milk frother at home.

Caramel Sauce

I used Torani Caramel Sauce to drizzle on top of the cold foam.

To add the caramel flavor to the cold foam, you can also mix caramel syrup with the salt and milk in your preferred frothing method.

Or do that and add caramel sauce on top for extra caramel flavor.
