In August, Boston Beer Company (which makes Truly, Sam Adams and Angry Orchard, among other brands) and Pepsi announced plans to release a line of spiked Mountain Dew ready-to-drink beverages.
Hard Mountain Dew hasn’t yet been released, and already the brand has added a new flavor: the iconic Baja Blast, which has a major cult following after being a Taco Bell-exclusive drink for years. Baja Blast was designed to pair well with Taco Bell’s food, but it was so popular that Mountain Dew expanded it outside of the chain.

Hard Baja Blast, unfortunately, will not be available at Taco Bell, Food & Wine reported.
Mountain Dew isn’t the only popular drink receiving an infusion of booze. Coca-Cola and Molson Coors on Wednesday announced a new version of the popular Simply Lemonade: Simply Spiked.
