As an update, they have a lot of baja blasts, but the citrus punch by itself isn’t very convincing to me. I had settled on a citrus freeze, a neon green slushie.
I tried Citrus Punch from 5% to every level to 15%, I couldn’t find the sweet spot and delved into other juices. Thanks for bringing me back to this.
Yeah, I was wondering if anyone had had luck. All Pepsi gives us for a hint is the word “citrus” and that is super vague. Every time I make a Mountain Dew attempt, it’s always lemon, lime, and a tiny bit of orange which comes out tasting like Sprite.
Maybe I’ll give some of the other concentrates a try, I know LB is now at BCF so that’s one that may be worth a go.
Add TFA Lemon Lime for a true MDew taste. I would say 75% to 25% Of your flavor base.
By what brand Is Max Dew? Flavor express?
Max Dew was the name of the concentrates by both FW and TPA, but they have both since, been renamed. TPA has Citrus Punch and FW has Citrus soda. I am very close to ordering both as well as Dew Mountain by LB.
I have to get to the bottom of this Mountain Dew investigation; as soon as I have a good base, I can make any flavor of Mountain Dew.
I have made ALL my recipes from scratch. Example, a coconut cream pie has no coconut cream pie flavoring. I have drank Mt. Dew for over 40 yrs. the past 20 yrs. Diet Dew. My Wife HATES the taste of it! Now to My point… I mixed RF SC MTN Juice @ 4%, 1% Super Sweet (PUR) and had her try it. She spit and sputtered for 30 seconds, she said this tastes just like Mt. Dew… and it does. So far of the 39 RF SC I have, I’m not real impressed yet, but the MTN Juice is really good.
I might have to try this on my next real flavors order. I have the Baja Blast SC, but it failed to impress so I assumed it was using the MTN Juice as a base with a bit of Blue Raspberry. Perhaps it is better than the Baja Blast…
Every attempt at making Mt. Dew from scratch just turns into Sprite, lol.
Well you are definitely found it wrong then.
well, baja blast appears to be the crowd favorite. I posted a Pitch Black few months back, that was with a lot of assistance. I intended to not make it with one shots or a lot of sweetner. Now-a-days, its convient enough to make it with one-shots like grape soda and energy soda and whatnot. I’ve been mixing for about 3 years, and I don’t remember nearly as many one shots. I tried that new Dew-S-A flavor soda, tastes pretty good. I’m on this journey to find a substitute for the soda so I can stop drinking it
Which one shot flavors of regular Mt. Dew have you tried? I have FW Citrus Soda, TPA Citrus Punch, and LB Dew Mountain on the way, hoping for something comparable.
I tried Citrus Punch TPA, Mountain Dew Type by Delosi (I bought it a few years ago with a few other concentrates, I wasn’t pleased with any of them so I never bought from them again)… and that’s it really. I have few very one shots of anything. I think I have jungle juice, Shirley temple, and forest fruit, (all for my wife’s juice)
making this tonight, hope you guys/gays enjoy it
So after buying the FW, TFA, and LB versions of Mountain Dew, I have figured one thing out for sure; the FW version is gross. It is still between TFA and LB, but just going by smell, the TFA smells closer. I even had multiple people smell the concentrates to tell me which smelled more like the real thing, and every time, people told me TFA.
I did also notice that OoO has a Mountain Dew flavor, so I cannot help but try it. Has anyone around here tried that one?
No, I never tried the OOO
To add to the already existing mountain dew flavors,
Sweet Lightning is a new permanent flavor of Mountain Dew exclusively available at KFC.
I remember… long time ago… Mt Dew was a topic @DarkJester89 and I chatted on…
I might have shared a recipe or 2… but yeah… Mt Dew 
PS…
Citrus Soda and Cola (FLV) are both a nicely spot on Mt Dew… keep them both at 1% and maybe add a touch of cream and ice 
well im probably a little late to the conversation but I like this one
Baja Blast (F. Up)
9.00% Blueberry (One Drop Flavors)
2.00% Champagne Soda (SC) (Wonder Flavor)
2.00% Citrus Punch (Mt. Dew) (The Flavor Apprentice)
got the idea of making a baja blast from this recipe
but didn’t have the flavors … i actually messed up on the conversion . and remade with correct numers but honestly the mess up tasted a lot closier to baja blast . but still it has the tag (F. up) to remind me that sometimes mistakes are good thing…
Citris punch tfa 2%
Soda base 2% RF
Or
Same recipe just replace soda base RF w/t Fizz pop enhancer 2.5% cap
Lemon lime 2% cap
Lime tahity cold pressed 0.7% FA
Steep over a week
What is LB mt.dew?
I used to buy MFS “Sun UP” but they went out of business, so I’m looking to find something similar
It’s liquid barn, but citrus punch tfa and lemon lime is a good path for it.
