I went to reheat my Starbucks Mocha, and discovered what looked like beads of oil on top after heating. What ingredient do they put in to cause this?

Both milk and chocolate have fat in them. Mu guess is the drops are one or both of those.
All properly made coffee leaves oil on the top. However, I’m going to assume that you zapped the drink in the microwave to reheat it. This is something most people do, but don’t realize you will change not only the taste, but also will cook the milk or ingredients in the mocha sauce, so what you saw could’ve been a result of that. In addition, a standard (non-modified) mocha is topped with whipped cream, which also has fat and oils in it. The oils from the whipped cream are usually much more prominent than the oils from the coffee or even milk cooked in the microwave, so that’s likely what you saw.
There’s a certain kind of oil on the bean it’self it’s harmless though if this is what u were thinking stir it it will mix taste better👍😊
Whole fat milk maybe? Or the the plastic from the cup you microwaved it in.
It’s fat from the milk and/or cocoa.
It is probably milk or, if you ordered with half and half then that. The oil droplets are from the fats separating out of the drink from being heated.
