The Taco Bell Baja Blast Freeze is a fun drink to recreate at home. This recipe is super simple, but it makes for a refreshing treat on a warm day.
For some reason, Taco Bell seems to equate this drink to drinking a hurricane. Being a Houston, Texas resident for many years now, I have weathered a couple of hurricanes, this drink doesn’t taste like a hurricane. A hurricane tastes a little dirty, it’s very wet, and it is often served with a side of barbeque, and some oil that is burning in that lightly used chainsaw. For me, a hurricane was really an excuse to not go to work, sit around at the house without power, and to barbeque everything insight because your refrigerator was no longer properly functioning. Does this drink taste like this, no. Thankfully, no. It doesn’t even remind me of warmish beer. The Baja Blast is refreshing, hurricanes aren’t.
This fun beverage is quick and easy to make. You really only need two ingredients, regular Mountain Dew and Powerade Berry Blast. I drank Mountain Dew in college it was mostly for the caffeine. I find this drink to be a refreshing drink to serve up. For best results use cold Mountain Dew when you start, this way the drink will retain more of its fizz after it is run through the blender.

Hello me and my son love this,and yes we will be making this from home for sure! Thank you
Wow people, get over the semantics. It’s her take on a drink, so yea it’s her recipe. Get a life! You do not need to be rude or use a foul acronymn for your name either. If you think you can create a recipe with a few ingredients that are easily accessible, then create your own blog. Otherwise keep your nastiness to yourself and let others enjoy this site w/o your drama. Gaahhhh!!
Title is Misleading, as it should say Baja Blast Freeze. This is technically not a copy cat recipe.
This isn’t a recipe. This is worse than the ‘Frozen Grapes’ recipe on the food network. You should be embarrassed.
I think the title was supposed to be “Taco Bell Baja Blast Freeze” maybe? Regardless, this is the recipe I’ve always used to make my own Baja Blast soda.
75% Mountain Dew, 25% Powerade Berry Blast flavor. A 3:1 ratio. One 12 ounce can of Mountain Dew, add 4 Ounces of Powerade Berry Blast. If you want to make it into the “freeze” version, do the ice in a blender part,or freeze some beforehand into ice cubes and add that into the blender with it to avoid watering it down. You can adjust the ratio to your liking if you think it’s off, however I think it’s pretty close.
I suspect they came up with Baja Blast because they serve both Mountain Dew and Powerade Berry Blast in the fountain drinks, and enterprising employees mixed the two. Would explain the Blast part of the name.
This is genius, should be what was originally posted.
Thank you so much William!
Now THAT is what should have been posted!
Thank you William 😉
No, totally not my intention. What should the recipe have been?
Looks yummy and refreshing on a hot day. I haven’t tried the baja blast at taco bell, I’ll have to give it a try next time we go.
wow this looks like a nice refreshing treat for the hot summer months. I know some people who would love it
YUM!!! I know what my son will be making this summer. He waits all day for happy hour so he can get one of these.
I really need to get myself a better blender. Then I could make all kinds of refreshing drinks this summer!
I have seen those Ninjas. They are inexpensive, and I have read many good things about them.
I typically don’t like Mountain Dew, but I would love this. Perfect drink to sip pool side.
I agree, it’s nothing like the Lousiana Hurricane – which is red and not green at all. My hubby loves Mountain Dew. If I can find him some Baja blast, I’ll see if he’d like to have one of these.
I will have to check out one of those, they sound very intriguing.
Aha! I was wondering what you used to give it that nice refreshing color. I’d love to try it!
It is the soda that makes that color 😉
so where is the Baja Blast recipe?
Exactly! WTF? This is NOT a recipe — crush ice and add soda is NOT a recipe. This is like saying the recipe to making White Castle hamburgers is to buy frozen White Castle hamburgers and heat them! Don’t say there is a recipe for Baja Blast when there isn’t one!
If you google the definition of “recipe” you get, “a set of instructions for preparing a particular dish, including a list of the ingredients required.” I feel that all of the above criteria was met. I truly don’t know what more you can expect from a very simple process.
This summer, Must have Moutain Dew. I love it 🙂 . Thanks Stephanie!
