Mountain Dew has officially unveiled its latest innovation, the Baja Cabo Citrus Soda, set to make its debut in stores on April 21, 2025. This announcement comes on the heels of extensive speculation and excitement on social media platforms, where fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this unique beverage. PepsiCo, the parent company of Mountain Dew, confirmed the launch with a stylish reveal on Instagram on April 8, featuring images of the new drink.
Available in both 20-ounce and 12-ounce packaging across the United States, the Baja Cabo Citrus Soda will offer consumers both regular and zero-sugar variants. It’s important to note that this release will be the final flavor to feature the classic logo, as subsequent product launches will be showcased in newly rebranded packaging starting in May.

The allure of Baja flavors lies in their limited-time availability, often causing them to sell out quickly. Over the past few months, fans have been buzzing about the anticipated launch of Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus, and now their excitement is poised to pay off.
On October 24, popular food influencers @snackwithzach and @teamsupernovafb shared a sneak peek on Instagram, confirming the drink’s April release. Additionally, a Reddit user also contributed to the buzz with a leaked image of the beverage just days prior.
Mountain Dew’s April 8 Instagram post elaborated on the flavor profile:
“It’s Tropical Citrus Punch with notes of the best spring break of your life. Baja Cabo Citrus coming 4/21!”
In conjunction with this exciting soda release, Mountain Dew will also reintroduce a limited-time Doritos flavor—guacamole—which will hit store shelves on April 28.
The distinct taste of Baja Cabo Citrus will feature a delightful blend of tangerine and lime flavors, complemented by subtle floral notes. Both the standard and zero-sugar options will provide fans with choices that suit their dietary preferences.
Additional Mountain Dew Releases to Watch For
Looking ahead, the Mountain Dew flavor landscape is set to expand further. As noted by @teamsupernovafb, a new Honey Dew flavor is anticipated to arrive in July, while a Dragon Fruit flavor will launch exclusively at Walmart in June, replacing the Frostbite variant. Additionally, the Mango Rush flavor is expected to roll out on May 5, exclusively offered at Little Caesars in 16-ounce cans.
Moreover, Mountain Dew is collaborating with Blind Barber to release a Baja Blast-inspired body care lineup. These products will be available for purchase starting April 16, both on the Blind Barber website and at the Mountain Dew TikTok store.
The Baja flavor line was first introduced in 2004, originating as a tropical lime soda made exclusively for Taco Bell. Since then, the Baja series has captured the hearts of soda enthusiasts, making each new release a sought-after event. Fans are encouraged to seize the opportunity to try the Baja Cabo Citrus Soda as soon as it becomes available.
