Keep in mind that this isn’t a mocha latte but a cold brew mocha drink that consists of more coffee than milk. It is less acidic thanks to the cold brew strong coffee but still packs a punch of caffeine and chocolate flavor thanks to the chocolate sauce.

This is my go-to drink whenever it is hot out and I need a delicious coffee that is both refreshing and cold to help me cool down. In this article, I will show you exactly how to make it and how to save a ton of money in the long run because we all know that buying drinks at coffee shops adds up so quickly, especially in today’s economy!

What is cold brew?

Cold brew is pretty much coffee that was brewed with cold or room temperature water yielding a less acidic sweeter brew. It doesn’t require the use of an espresso machine or anything fancy. You can make it in a french press, a pitcher or anything that can hold coffee and coffee then strain it and use it in your favorite coffee drinks.

Ingredients for this easy iced mocha recipe

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this new recipe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

  • Cold brew– Use your own cold-brewed coffee or the store-bought version.
  • Chocolate syrup– You can use homemade chocolate syrup or store-bought, both would work great.
  • Milk– I love using whole milk or half and half in my drink because it will make your cold brew drink so creamy and decadent but I know that it would also taste just as good with a dairy-free milk as well. My go-to go for an extra creamy cold brew mocha is creamy oat milk. Try it out and let me know your thoughts!

    Pretty solid! I doubled it and made the recipe using your mocha sauce recipe. Only advice I have is make sure you are using a strong cold brew! Next time I make this, I plan on using a stronger brew & perhaps omitting the almond milk and replacing it with a splash of cream.

      Thank you so much for giving it a try! Yes milk or half and half are best. The almond milk isn’t creamy enough in my opinion and if you can have dairy then it is definitely worth it!
