There has been so many good returning and new Mountain Dew flavors this year. And while we are excited for the new Mountain Dew flavors coming in 2025<\/a>, we also want to take a moment to reflect back on the Mountain Dews of 2024\u2014a Dew-wind, if you will. Which returning and new Mountain Dew flavors were the best and deserve another release, and which ones should stay in the past? I still have a can of each flavor that released in 2024, so let\u2019s retry them ALL and rank \u2018em!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
Mountain Dew Baja Blast<\/strong> (Honorable Mention)<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

While it didn\u2019t feel right to include this in the ranking overall, I had to throw Baja Blast into the mix as it did<\/em> drop permanently this year as part of its 20th anniversary celebration. Baja Blast is undeniably one of the greatest Dews of all time. Our sources tell us that it is singlehandedly the best selling flavor of Mountain Dew other than Original, and I can\u2019t say that I am surprised. There is just something special about the tropical flavor you get when you crack open a Baja Blast. I can\u2019t say that I have ever had a drink that is anything like it. It\u2019s absolutely unique and its place on the permanent lineup is totally earned.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mountain Dew Freedom Fusion<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

I\u2019ll admit, the initial wave of excitement you get when you try a new flavor has worn off for the patriotic trio and I\u2019m going to be a little<\/em> harder on Freedom Fusion than when I initially tried it<\/a>. Unlike my initial review, I now get a lot more of the lemonade flavor than I did when I first tasted this peach-lemonade Mountain Dew flavor. I think that makes it a little bit less desirable. While I think the flavor worked well as a Slurpee, I\u2019m loving this one as much as I did initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should it come back? <\/strong>I\u2019d love to see the Freedom Fusion Slurpee make a return to 7-Eleven and Speedway. But as Pepsi cut the planned 2025 return for Freedom Fusion<\/a>, I wouldn\u2019t expect to see it any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mountain Dew Infinite Swirl<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

While 7-Eleven Exclusive Infinite Swirl and its pineapple berry flavor are quite pleasant, I think the pineapple shines better in Baja Point Break Punch and I think the berry shines more in Star Spangled Splash. Pretty good, but other flavors got it done a little bit better.

Should it come back? <\/strong>As of now, Infinite Swirl is still an exclusive Mountain Dew flavor at 7-Eleven and Speedway, so you still have an opportunity to grab it.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\t\t

Mountain Dew Baja Point Break Punch<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

Baja Point Break Punch is Baja Blast spinoffs of all time. It\u2019s got a really great classic fruit punch<\/a> flavor to it, combining the flavors of raspberries and pineapple really well. That said, when compared to all of the other 2024 flavors of Mountain Dew, I can\u2019t say that it stands out.

Should it come back?<\/strong> I think part of the charm of the Baja spinoffs is that Mountain Dew tries something new every year. Although I like this flavor, I\u2019d rather see what\u2019s next rather than this one again. (I\u2019m personally hoping for a Tiger\u2019s Blood<\/a> Icee-inspired Baja Blast spinof\u2014watermelon, strawberry, and coconut, for those not familiar.)<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mountain Dew Liberty Chill<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

While I love the Krabby Patty gummy-like flavor that the patriotic Dew presents, I don\u2019t love that it promises 50 flavors in one Dew when it is definitely only one. That said, I\u2019d definitely pick it up again.

Should it come back?<\/strong> Maybe in a few years, but I don\u2019t think it needs to come back any time soon (and Pepsi seemingly agrees, having cancelled the planned 2025 release).<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mountain Dew Game Fuel Citrus Blackberry<\/strong><\/dt>\n\n\n\n
\n

I was disappointed that this ended up being raspberry<\/em> blackberry instead of the purely blackberry flavor we\u2019d initially heard we were going to get. While I certainly don\u2019t dislike<\/em> Game Fuel Citrus Blackberry and will happily drink it while it\u2019s on shelves, it is very raspberry forward and reminds me much of Mountain Dew Spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should it come back? <\/strong>I\u2019d love to see a pure Blackberry Game Fuel. But as for Citrus Blackberry? I think it can stay in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
