Mountain Dew has now officially announced that its Baja Cabo Citrus Soda is hitting stores on April 21, 2025. From leaked images to speculations, there has been a buzz around the drink on social media for months. The PepsiCo-owned soft drink label has now cleared the air. On April 8, the label posted on Instagram, sharing pictures of the new beverage and announcing the date.
Baja Cabo Citrus Soda will be available in 20-ounce and 12-ounce packs across the US. This limited-edition flavor will come in both regular and zero-sugar versions. Notably, this is the last flavor addition coming with the old logo; new drops will be spotted in rebranded packaging from May.
The Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus Soda release date is set to April 21
These Mountain Dew Baja drinks tend to disappear from the market rapidly, which contributes to the buzz around them. For the past few months, fans of this brand have been talking about a new drink, Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus.

After much speculation, Mountain Dew posted on Instagram on April 8 with the caption that reads:
"It’s Tropical Citrus Punch with notes of the best spring break of your life. Baja Cabo Citrus coming coming 4/21!"
For this Baja release, the soft drink brand is partnering with Doritos for a returning guacamole flavor. These chips will hit the snack aisle on April 28. They both are limited-time offerings and will be available for two months.
The Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus soda offers a tangerine and lime flavor with a hint of floral notes. The drink will be available in two sizes and includes a zero-sugar variant.
