That means no more hitting up the Taco Bell drive-thru for a single Baja Blast.

Truly rounding out the summer of Baja, Baja Blast and Baja Blast Zero Sugar are returning to store shelves once more.

Not bad for a company that introduced its first new flavor in over 10 years just this past January. These are in addition to the just-released Mtn Dew Baja Blast Colada Freeze at Taco Bell, which combines everything you love about the chain's signature Baja Blast Freeze drink with everything you love about piña coladas-except the booze. Mtn Dew's Baja Flash features an added tropical twist thanks to pineapple and coconut flavors, while Baja Punch features hints of orange, cherry, and pineapple. Both combine the tropical lime flavor of Baja Blast with a little something extra. Now, Mtn Dew just unleashed two new Baja flavors: Baja Flash and Baja Punch. All told, it’s the only actually refreshing variant in the bunch.Launched in 2004, Mtn Dew's Baja Blast has a cult following.

The surf-y rendition has always been the apex of the DEW portfolio, and the boozed-up version is no different. It feels a little weird to be drinking Baja Blast outside the hallowed walls of a Taco Bell, but this is no ordinary Baja Blast. A near-overwhelming bite of grain alcohol follows the citrus, which given the overall frattiness of the beverage, makes sense. (The strange playground rumor about yellow dye #5 is false, for the record.) The hard version of classic DEW is, like those hand-crafted high school cocktails, heavy on the booze. OriginalĪnyone who allegedly had their sperm count lowered by the Slimer-green original DEW will immediately recognize the flavor, which is so perfectly intact that it’s a wonder the previous two flavors aren’t better executed. Give us the yellow shit.ĭoin’ Beers: 5 Minnesota Beers to Drink in May 2. Pepper-y, but absolutely no one is here for it. (Editor’s note: gross.) It’s not wholly offensive, maybe a bit too Dr. This medicinal, iridescent focus group byproduct is like if Taco Bell started selling guacamole. This is the stuff you chug on a dirt bike while giving the finger to a line of mini vans parked outside the school gym.

Yes, Black Cherry is the archetypal hard seltzer flavor, but the MTN DEW brand isn’t about pandering. Hard MTN DEW’s biggest sin is trying to play in the same pool as White Claw and Truly.

Why Watermelon instead of Hard Code Red? I hope a marketing exec was fired for this one. Historically, MTN DEW has done an excellent job knowing its degenerate consumer, but I can’t imagine any self-respecting dirtbag like my past self willingly choosing this flavor over something more familiar. Watermelon tastes like the runoff from the Jolly Rancher factory, a barely swallowable treacle of harsh flavors that contains, by some food-science alchemy, zero sugar. MTN DEW, you’re wasting everyone’s time with this. Though I’m usually Doin’ Beers at Racket, today I take a step back and time and Do… the DEW. wVkUpH5kKh- Hard Mountain Dew May 16, 2022Ĭhanneling the worst version of myself from those teenage train rides, I immediately scored a box at Chicago Lake Liquors, ready to analyze the probable highs and definite lows of this brand-new flavored malt beverage.
