Two Fan-Favorite Mountain Dew Baja Blast Flavors Are Coming Back for Summer 2026

If you have been pining for the return of Mountain Dew’s Baja Caribbean Splash, then I have good news. Stop staring longingly at that picture of the can and put it back in your wallet, because the real deal is coming back along with Baja Cabo Citrus. There’s just a couple of catches.

Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus and Baja Caribbean Splash are coming…to Canada!

Renders of both Baja Cabo Citrus and Baja Caribbean Splash have leaked from Pepsi Canada’s product locator, indicating that the two Baja Blast spinoff flavors will be dropping on shelves soon.

Word has it they will be exclusive to Circle K and Couche-Tard (a Canadian convenience store chain). And they’re both dropping in new 355 ml slim cans rather than the 473 ml big cans. Cute!

What flavors are Baja Cabo Citrus and Baja Caribbean Splash?

Baja Cabo Citrus first launched in the U.S. in 2025. The flavors are orange and lime—and that’s pretty much what it tastes like! It’s like a good orange soda with a twist of zesty lime. Our own Tyler Bowers gave it a decent enough review when it first dropped.

Baja Cabo Citrus got a relaunch in the U.S. this past January with the promise that it will stick around for a full 52 weeks. And this time, it’s made without artificial dyes. Tyler got an early taste of the 2026 Baja Cabo Citrus and actually preferred it to the 2025 version. (No word on the formula being dropped in Canada, but our neighbors in the north are much stricter about artificial dyes than the U.S., so I’d bet they’re getting the artificial color-free version.)

Baja Caribbean Splash is a seasonal, guava-flavored soda that first dropped in 2023 and is currently unavailable in the U.S. It gained a fervent fandom as exemplified in this Reddit thread in which people are boasting about having hoarded cans and others are suggesting purchasing the discontinued flavor via Discord. All they have to do now is take a little trip over the border.

When will these Baja flavors be available? And for how long?

We expect both flavors to drop soon—in time for summer. But, per the renders, these Baja flavors are both limited edition offerings, so they probably won’t be around for long after summer. Fourth of July trip to Vancouver to escape the chaos of the U.S. and stock up on some Baja? Who’s in?!

Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients. Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now). Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test! Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
