Taco Bell and Mountain Dew have long been known for their iconic partnership in creating the beloved Baja Blast soda. This unique tropical lime drink has garnered a cult-like following over the years, with fans eagerly awaiting its return to Taco Bell menus. Now, in celebration of the Baja Blast’s 21st birthday, Taco Bell is introducing a brand-new flavor that is sure to excite loyal customers and newcomers alike.
The new flavor, named Baja Midnight, was unveiled at Live Más Live 2025 as Taco Bell’s first-ever Baja Blast variation. Building on the classic tropical lime soda, Baja Midnight adds a twist with the addition of passion fruit flavors. The result is a dark purple, midnight-inspired beverage that promises a refreshing and fruity taste experience.
Scheduled to debut on August 14, Baja Midnight will be exclusive to Taco Bell restaurants, further cementing the longstanding partnership between the fast-food chain and Mountain Dew. Unlike some limited-time offerings, Baja Midnight will become a permanent fixture on Taco Bell’s drinks menu, joining the ranks of the popular Baja Blast and Baja Blast Freeze.
For fans looking to cool off during the remaining warm months, Taco Bell will also offer a frozen Baja Midnight Freeze for a limited time. This icy treat is sure to be a hit with those seeking a refreshing and flavorful beverage to enjoy alongside their favorite Taco Bell menu items.
Early tastings of Baja Midnight have already garnered positive reviews, with some describing it as an “extra-fruity version of the classic.” With its unique flavor profile and eye-catching color, Baja Midnight is poised to become a staple for Taco Bell enthusiasts and soda lovers alike.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Baja Blast or new to the world of Taco Bell beverages, Baja Midnight promises to be a delicious and exciting addition to the menu.
