Pepsi tried to discontinue the baja blast for some reason but the customer blowback was so bad they are keeping it out in limited edition. personally they just should put it out in full product line so everyone can get it everywhere. Thanks for the video.
It similar to bk chicken fries, they wanted to keep them novalties as a way to make money, but than they realized they would make more if they just kept them out forever
GarouLady It was never supposed to be out permanently it was a taco bell exclusive but last year it was out only for the summer and it out only for the summer again this year
Not where I live. Its been out all year long. I have gone during the winter time to get my baja blast fix. Maybe my taco bell stockpiles it for lean times. LOL. =D
I remember in high school when there was only about half a dozen flavors of Gatorade and when your buddy was going to the store you'd say: HEY get me a blue Gatorade! Now if you said that he'd be like: There's 5 blue ones what one do you want! :)
i have a theory that baja blast was created from a worker at taco bell. Everyday he took his lunch break he would mix the poweraid and mountaindew from the soda fountain. one day some manager found out about it and try to get higher up managment to get as a regular fountain drink exclusive to taco bell. if thats true i bet that worker didnt any compensation d:
Oh man Baja Blast is my most favorite drink ever. That shit is so sinfully delicious I can't help but order it at Taco Bell! LOL Where the hell did you get that 20oz though!? They quit selling it around here MONTHS ago!
***** They still have these stoicked up at a local Dollar Store as well as Ive seen them at local gas stations like Sheetz here in PA, Im really trying not to drink much soda but Cristina loves this shit so on occasion she will pick up a bottle
***** Last summer they released in bottles cans and 2 liters. This summer they are doing it again along with Sangrita Blast. It's only available till late August.
+Tom Blank i live in an area where there is no taco bell. but at the grocery store they sell baja blast. let me tell you... I am addicted... so to each his own?
75% Mountain Dew and 25% Blue Gatorade or Powerade. I'm trying it with the Powerade right now and it's pretty good! Since it's pulled off the shelves too soon and as the man says if you're not near a Taco Bell, this will come in quite handy! Thanks so much for this video!
From the uk and I have had basically no exposure to mtn dew. In the UK the main flavour is citrus blast. because it’s like the only one I thought it was the original. Blew my mind when I had the actual original. And when I had other flavours I realised citrus blast has a whole different feel to mtn dew as well.
You can also mix Mountain Dew voltage with regular green Mountain Dew and it will taste very similar to the baja blast flavor and it comes out as the same color too but it won't taste exactly the same though
Gatorade came out with a flavour called Arctic Blitz recently and in my opinion, it tastes very similar (although obviously not carbonated) to Baja Blast. I would recommend tasting that on its own, although you could possibly mix that with Mountain Dew in order to create an almost exact replica.
I found if you add 3/4 cup Mountain dew, 1/2 cup Mountain Dew Ice and 1/2 cup cool blue Gatorade it seems closer, the mountain Dew Ice gives it the lime taste
I tried the tropical cooler a couple days ago and I have to say that flavor was unenjoyable by itself. There's also an orange colored "cooler" which to me just tasted like orange gatorade in a different bottle.
It's amazing how we react to perceived scarcity or exclusivity. If they released this as it's own drink available anywhere, it wouldn't be anything special. Make it available in limited quantities or at specific places, it has a cult following.
I have bought gatorade powder mix before and my thought was that it would work better using it instead of the liquid that it would likely retain more of the mountain dew base (carbonation, texture). Unfortunately, googling it it seems like they don't make cool blue in powder form.
Another thing you have to consider is they water down your drink from taco bell. So what I did was 2 parts mnt dew, one part cool blue, then I squeezed SOME lime in, not a lot, then added water to taste and about damn near got it perfect. Good luck peeps, and happy brewing.
My favorite summertime beverage Bombay Blast = your favorite tall glass full of ice to the top you want this super cold then about 2 shots or whatever I feel like of Bombay Sapphire Gin and the rest the way up with Baha Blast for some reason all the flavors and aromas of that gin just mix fucking perfectly with it and make for one refreshing drink. Tequila mixes pretty well with it to but makes it taste slightly diluted where as the Gin it seems to retain its fizz and flavor a lot better.
I tried this, i poured 50/50 mtn added about 1/5 of cool berry blast(blue powerade) and about 1/6 of strawberry lemonade (pink powerade) and it worked quite well but it did wipe away some carbonation tasted like it!
I personally tried Baja blast, and tried to decode the taste of the different things, I also saw a Twitter post on how to make the slushee with blue Powerade, and noticed a sprite after taste in my Baja blast, tried it with 7up as a sprite substitute, almost exact same, and the color is just a bit darker than the actual thing, so try sprite instead of the green Gatorade’s and I bet you that’s the secret code
Okay not to go too far off topic but, homemade ginger beer (it's non-alcoholic) is fun and well worth the effort. I use real ginger, real sugar (not high fruitcos corn syrup) and yeast to mske it bubbly.
I currently live in Los Angeles and Baja blast is mostly only found at Taco Bell. I took a trip to Honolulu and they sold Baja blast everywhere you go.
Thank you for the video. I love mtn Baja blast. Could get it in Wisconsin but only seen it a few times since I've moved to Arizona. Your video is the best one I've seen on finding a close match. Thanks again, really appreciate it!
I don't know, I get a strong lime taste but also the tropical pineapple/fruit as well. Baja blast and coconut rum go great together though. I buy cans of Baja pretty much just to mix those two.
I got the same results... I tried a 50% Mtn Dew 25% Sierra Mist & 25% Cool Blue and got even closer to color and taste... I would've gone with Sprite, but I figured Pepsi isn't gonna use a coke product (powerade or sprite)
Also, the issue is, the Baja carbonated water and the standard water in the Gatorade are diluting the flavor. More syrup is needed. Getting Gatorade syrup might be difficult
13 years ago when I was in high school we used to do over half of Mountain Dew and the rest blue Powerade and we called it mountain power dew or something like that
I've heard so much about the Baja Blast Mountain Dew, but I'm stuck here, neither in the US nor Canada. This might be my only shot at figuring out what it tastes like 😅
i make it buy taking a 32oz cup i fill it up 1/3 blue powerade 2/3 mtn dew i add 1 flavor shot of coconut and 2 flavor shots of lime it taste almost the exact same
The thing you are missing is the taco juice that taco bell puts into every batch of Baja blast lol. Just take some taco grease and mix it in with the mnt dew and you should have that flavor you crave.
We had finally found a way to liquidize Cool Blue. We released it into a Mountain Dew batch and stepped in as shareholders. The addictive Dew and addictive Drug combined and became one of the most favorited flavors. We left rich.
I've never tried it before, but I think you can mix mountain dew, cool blue Gatorade and lemon lime Gatorade together. How bout you try that and let me know what happens?
Yes that's what the fuck I mean you douche. I'm not fucking stupid and I've been browsing /r/ drugs for the past three years. I just called it that because most people don't know that lean really is.
Pepsi tried to discontinue the baja blast for some reason but the customer blowback was so bad they are keeping it out in limited edition. personally they just should put it out in full product line so everyone can get it everywhere. Thanks for the video.

GarouLady totally off topic...I love your name! Arrroooooooooo!
in UK we only have standard mountain dew
I remember in high school when there was only about half a dozen flavors of Gatorade and when your buddy was going to the store you'd say: HEY get me a blue Gatorade! Now if you said that he'd be like: There's 5 blue ones what one do you want! :)
Openfacefont fax I can’t wait to tell people back in high school story’s bro I’m excited
You must have been in highschool late 2000's?
For real dude there’s an arsenal of flavors now
65% regular Dew, 25% Cool Blue, 7% Lime in it too and 3% Tropical should do it for you. "AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! GHETTO BAHA BLAST! Tipsy Bartender."
lol
why the fuck am I watching this
Cause you tapped/clicked on it :3
+Probablykieran IKR
Because magic.
Because you are a loser.
i said the same thing, I hate youtube recommending on lame videos
i have a theory that baja blast was created from a worker at taco bell. Everyday he took his lunch break he would mix the poweraid and mountaindew from the soda fountain. one day some manager found out about it and try to get higher up managment to get as a regular fountain drink exclusive to taco bell. if thats true i bet that worker didnt any compensation d:
This is true I was the Powerade
I can confirm I was the mountain dew.
These guys are telling the truth i was the Fountain machine
XDDD
It’s true I was the employee
Try lighter fluid and cool mint Listerine.
HAHAHA SO FUNNY I FORGOT TO LAUGH
but you just did laugh
+Spanky Bruh rekt
that joke is so 2005...
this isn't howtobasic.
Oh man Baja Blast is my most favorite drink ever. That shit is so sinfully delicious I can't help but order it at Taco Bell! LOL Where the hell did you get that 20oz though!? They quit selling it around here MONTHS ago!
***** They still have these stoicked up at a local Dollar Store as well as Ive seen them at local gas stations like Sheetz here in PA, Im really trying not to drink much soda but Cristina loves this shit so on occasion she will pick up a bottle
cutlerylover I don't drink much anymore. But I LOVED that stuff.
***** Last summer they released in bottles cans and 2 liters. This summer they are doing it again along with Sangrita Blast. It's only available till late August.
hinder1312
Yea I drank the hell out of them last summer. But they aren't around here yet in convenience stores or anything...
***** Check your local Walmart. Mine got TONS of cans of both flavors.
It took you to say “a ghetto version” for me to get up out of bed and goto 7-11 now to make it. I didn’t choose the ghetto...the ghetto chose me!
I applaud you on not making obnoxious swallowing sounds good sir.
Right.
First off, EXCELLENT INVESTIGATIVE WORK! Second, what makes Baja Blast so great is all that delicious Taco Bell food that comes with it....
Tom Blank lol you may be right
Del taco is so much better, taco bells near me are horrible customer device, and bad food
+Tom Blank i live in an area where there is no taco bell. but at the grocery store they sell baja blast. let me tell you... I am addicted... so to each his own?
Um What
+Elijah Miller Same here! They sell it at CVS where I live.
This man is a modern day alchemist who will drag us kicking and screaming into a brave new world.
I put some earthworm, a bit of blueberry and a pinch of ball sweat in mine and it tastes the exact same!
Whitefright a pinch seems like an overly elegant measurement for ball sweat
Wanna die
Just squeeze a wedge of lime into it.
Regular Mountain Dew and Glacier Freeze Gatorade. About 55 Dew,45 Gatorade. Taste almost identical in my opinion
75% Mountain Dew and 25% Blue Gatorade or Powerade. I'm trying it with the Powerade right now and it's pretty good! Since it's pulled off the shelves too soon and as the man says if you're not near a Taco Bell, this will come in quite handy! Thanks so much for this video!

Add vodka. It usually makes everything better!
PaulyDontCare - Russia
"Usually" lol
Who your daddy ?
Vodka didn't make my marriage better. Not. One. Bit.
@Vladimir Putin it came from poland.....
I’m drinking Baja Blast right now watching this 😂 it’s soo good
I tried the tropical cooler a couple days ago and I have to say that flavor was unenjoyable by itself. There's also an orange colored "cooler" which to me just tasted like orange gatorade in a different bottle.
It's 2:35 am and I'm watching a grown man mix Mountain Dew with Gatorade
I find myself doing the same thing. only 4 years later
we all know what john cusack is doing while he is not acting in movies... he runs a channel called cutlery lover
It's amazing how we react to perceived scarcity or exclusivity. If they released this as it's own drink available anywhere, it wouldn't be anything special. Make it available in limited quantities or at specific places, it has a cult following.
***** pepsi twist was my favorite
When I tried Baja blast , I couldn't go back 😂😪😢😢😢 I'm so happy that I can make my own now lmao
I just love how your channel is random but always entertaining
Watching this in case Baja blast looses to pitch black
IT BETTER NOT
Yeah but hail Mountain Dew Baja blast
It will beat Baja Blast. Pitch Black may not be as old or nostalgic as Baja Blast, but it is still better. #VotePitchBlack
so not true
jacksepticeye jack But it is
Use the blue Hawaiian Punch flavor packet and mix it with mtn dew. Trust me it's the closest you'll get.
Boy, I tried that and it was absolute doodoo 💩, so I don't know what you mean by it's the closest you'll get
Baja Blast has 0 lime flavor for me. To me it is more of like a kiwi or some other fruit other than lime. Love the Freeze at Taco Bell.
I love how you just do random videos like this. Just keep it up.
I have bought gatorade powder mix before and my thought was that it would work better using it instead of the liquid that it would likely retain more of the mountain dew base (carbonation, texture). Unfortunately, googling it it seems like they don't make cool blue in powder form.
jesus christ this is some good weed, where am i?
If you don't even have Mountain Dew, mix blue power aid, sprite, and lemon aid.
Another thing you have to consider is they water down your drink from taco bell. So what I did was 2 parts mnt dew, one part cool blue, then I squeezed SOME lime in, not a lot, then added water to taste and about damn near got it perfect. Good luck peeps, and happy brewing.
Tune in this summer for 100 Days Of Baja...Baja, Baja Zero, Baja Flash and Baja Punch.
They also said that they're keeping Baja blast on the shelves all year round from now too
My favorite summertime beverage Bombay Blast = your favorite tall glass full of ice to the top you want this super cold then about 2 shots or whatever I feel like of Bombay Sapphire Gin and the rest the way up with Baha Blast for some reason all the flavors and aromas of that gin just mix fucking perfectly with it and make for one refreshing drink. Tequila mixes pretty well with it to but makes it taste slightly diluted where as the Gin it seems to retain its fizz and flavor a lot better.
"Throws up after samples"
Take a drink of your liquor every time this dude says "alright".
Baja Blast is arguably the best soda ever created (that I know of)
Baja Blast has changed my life
I tried this, i poured 50/50 mtn added about 1/5 of cool berry blast(blue powerade) and about 1/6 of strawberry lemonade (pink powerade) and it worked quite well but it did wipe away some carbonation tasted like it!
I personally tried Baja blast, and tried to decode the taste of the different things, I also saw a Twitter post on how to make the slushee with blue Powerade, and noticed a sprite after taste in my Baja blast, tried it with 7up as a sprite substitute, almost exact same, and the color is just a bit darker than the actual thing, so try sprite instead of the green Gatorade’s and I bet you that’s the secret code
Might have to add sugar to compensate for gatorade tho.. Might be good. And if u have a soda stream, add carbonation to it
Okay not to go too far off topic but, homemade ginger beer (it's non-alcoholic) is fun and well worth the effort. I use real ginger, real sugar (not high fruitcos corn syrup) and yeast to mske it bubbly.
I just had ginger beer yesterday it's so good
I currently live in Los Angeles and Baja blast is mostly only found at Taco Bell. I took a trip to Honolulu and they sold Baja blast everywhere you go.
oh nice. I always got a bit of lime on me too so I'll add a teaspoon or two. thanks for the heads up!
YYYOOOOOOOO I should definitely try this one day since I absoultely freaking LOVE Mountain Dew Baja Blast!!!!! :)
Thank you for the video. I love mtn Baja blast. Could get it in Wisconsin but only seen it a few times since I've moved to Arizona. Your video is the best one I've seen on finding a close match. Thanks again, really appreciate it!
1/3 of the cup mountain dew 1/3 cup cool blue gatorade then 1/6 the cuplime gatorade then leave that last 1/6 the cup empty?
i was half expecting him at (2:40) to drink all of the baja blast at that moment to mask the falsified flavor of fake baja. lol
Down in campus, we have a combo in the cafeteria to mix Mello Yellow and the blue Powerade in a 1:1 proportions to make Baja Blast.
Cool Blue is the Best, I am Drinking Baja Blast right Now! XD THIS IS REAL GAMER FUEL!!!!
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Anthony agreed.
Just squeeze some lime into the cool blue one then.
am i the only one who doesn't think baja blast tastes like lime?
I don't taste lime at all.
+Pretty Boy Fly I taste really only the tropical flavor. Not predominantly the lime or pine apple.
i get coconut with the lemon-lime.
+Austin Goss same
I don't know, I get a strong lime taste but also the tropical pineapple/fruit as well. Baja blast and coconut rum go great together though. I buy cans of Baja pretty much just to mix those two.
Solving life's biggest quandaries.
I got the same results... I tried a 50% Mtn Dew 25% Sierra Mist & 25% Cool Blue and got even closer to color and taste... I would've gone with Sprite, but I figured Pepsi isn't gonna use a coke product (powerade or sprite)
I've found that putting a little bit of orange soda (I use fanta) does the trick
id add a little bit of the lime gatorade to it
I work at TacoBell. Baha Blast is extremely popular. It's one of the drinks that gets extra syrup boxes during shipment.
Baja*
Also, the issue is, the Baja carbonated water and the standard water in the Gatorade are diluting the flavor. More syrup is needed. Getting Gatorade syrup might be difficult
You didn't have any palette cleansers inbetween to distinguish between the taste of the baja blast (which you drank first) and the faux-baja blast
13 years ago when I was in high school we used to do over half of Mountain Dew and the rest blue Powerade and we called it mountain power dew or something like that
Need to try some of that! Been hearing good things about it.
dang you were right there. All you had to do was add a splash of the lime Gatorade
This is why I subscribe to this channel.
hey when ur making the drink put a little bit of the lime Gatorade so put 2to1 with a splash of the lime and it is really really close
I can’t believe you’re big fan of MtnDw Baja Blast and you’re tried to make it at home with so many different tastes. So funny to me. I like it
I've heard so much about the Baja Blast Mountain Dew, but I'm stuck here, neither in the US nor Canada. This might be my only shot at figuring out what it tastes like 😅
bro, you sacrifice your stomach lining and blood sugar for this. we thank u
JESSE IT'S TIME TO MIX
no need now going to be a permanent flavor after this summer
since you said that when u mix 2 parts mtn dew and 1 part cool blue, it needs that kick of lime, mix it with some of the lime mountain dew.
i make it buy taking a 32oz cup i fill it up 1/3 blue powerade 2/3 mtn dew i add 1 flavor shot of coconut and 2 flavor shots of lime it taste almost the exact same
The thing you are missing is the taco juice that taco bell puts into every batch of Baja blast lol. Just take some taco grease and mix it in with the mnt dew and you should have that flavor you crave.
all I drink with any order from taco bell......... BAJA BLAST BITCHES!!
Try adding a tiny bit of lemon lime in the cool blue Gatorade and Mountain Dew to give it that lime flavor!
why didn't you try adding some of the lemon-lime Gatorade to the 2 part mtn dew 1 part cool blue mixture?
A Mountain Dew sommelier is now a thing.. ok. I'm getting notes of oak, plastic, and carbonation
you could just add 1 part cool blue gatorade, 1 part lemon lime gatorade, and 2 parts mtn dew
We had finally found a way to liquidize Cool Blue. We released it into a Mountain Dew batch and stepped in as shareholders. The addictive Dew and addictive Drug combined and became one of the most favorited flavors. We left rich.
This is great for us who don’t have Taco Bell in our countries!
Why not use a lemon lime soda like sprite or the new “starry” and see if that mixes with the Dew to make it?
Wonder if you added both the cool blue and lime to the mountain due if it'd be closer?
gotta add some sprite or starry for the lime and carbonation, its like 1x cool blue, 2x mtn dew, and sprite/starry
this drink has a new name now, its called Hababla
I had Baja blast at Wendy's
Instructions unclear: *the sun turned to baja blast*
If you are going to the store to buy regular mtn dew, then why not just buy the Baja Blast version, they sell it in two liters.
You are suppose to use spirte or Sierra Mist with it as while
Soo glad pitch black won!!! You can go to Taco Bell any day
Step #1: Make A Mountain Dew Slushie
Step #2: Let It Melt
Step #3: Enjoy!
am I the only one who when he said "yellowish green" I thought of piss color for the 3rd and 4th row? XD
now i have to face the journey of convincing my parents to buy a gatorade and a soda
This dude has a lot of free time on his hands.
You should've done the blue and the lime one with mountain dew.
Okay now you should mix everything in those cups together and take a sip.
this was probably more useful a few years ago, but now we can buy baja blast in the bottle
b8n2u not many places sell it anymore in the bottle, by me you cant find cans or 2 liters anymore just these bottles and even then its rare to see it
I've never tried it before, but I think you can mix mountain dew, cool blue Gatorade and lemon lime Gatorade together. How bout you try that and let me know what happens?
Wanna try this with lean.
Sage Of The Six Paths. "wanna try this with lean" you mean with promethazine/codeine? Lean is the product after you mix the two, silly youngin'.
Yes that's what the fuck I mean you douche. I'm not fucking stupid and I've been browsing /r/ drugs for the past three years. I just called it that because most people don't know that lean really is.
Sage Of The Six Paths. do you want a medal or something?
You're the one who was trying to disrespect me in my own thread and automatically assumed that didn't know what I was talking about. smh
Sage Of The Six Paths. the only "disrespect" on this "thread" is you cursing at me, again, silly youngin'.
Mountain Dew is a gateway drug.
