In 2004, Taco Bell introduced its new drink called the Baja Blast. Essentially, Baja Blast is a tropical lime version of Mountain Dew that was designed specifically around Taco Bell’s Mexican-inspired recipes.

And for a while, it was sold only at Taco Bell locations. It quickly developed a cult following and people kept asking: how do you make Baja Blast?

Now, you can buy Baja Blast at retailers like Walmart or Amazon, but it’s still always so fun to make your own Baja Blast with this easy copycat recipe (especially when you’re not looking to buy a whole case!)

FUN FACT: Baja Blast marked a new precedent for fast-food restaurants and beverage companies alike as they produce proprietary drinks to suit a specific cuisine with the intention of increasing sales through drive-through windows.
