The Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus soda is a new addition to the brand's product portfolio that's crafted with a refreshed flavor profile in the spotlight to work well for avid fans to try out this spring or summer.

The soda is reported to have a tropical seaside-inspired flavor profile that boasts notes of mandarin and lime with floral accents throughout. The drink is thus the perfect followup to the classic Baja Blast that has become a cult favorite amongst diehard fans.

The Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus soda will be hitting the US market in 20-ounce bottles and packs with 12-ounce servings starting April 21, 2025. The brand is also celebrating the arrival of the new soda with a campaign that will see it giving away an all-inclusive five-day trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
