Step 1: Fill two 8-ounce glasses about halfway with ice cubes. Using plenty of ice ensures your homemade Baja Blast stays cold and refreshing from the first sip to the last.

Step 2: Pour 3 ounces of blue Powerade into each glass. The blue Powerade is the secret ingredient that gives this copycat recipe its signature turquoise color and tropical undertones.

Step 3: Add 3 ounces of Mountain Dew to each glass. The classic citrus soda provides the foundational Dew flavor that makes this taste authentically Baja.

Step 4: Top each glass with 2 ounces of lemon-lime soda. This adds carbonation and a crisp lime finish that brightens the entire drink.

Step 5: Stir gently with a long spoon or straw to combine all ingredients thoroughly. You’ll see the beautiful turquoise color develop as the beverages blend together.

Step 6: Garnish with fresh lemon and lime slices on the rim if desired. This adds visual appeal and a hint of fresh citrus aroma with every sip. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Baja Blast!
