Baja Blast is a variety of Mountain Dew.The drink has a distinctive aquamarine color.You can't buy this drink in bottles or cans at a convenience store.If you want to make a version of Mountain Dew Baja Blast but can't get to the restaurant, you can blend it yourself.
Step 1: Put your ingredients together.
Measure out 2 cups of Mountain Dew and pour it into a glass.Add in the cup and stir.The drink will have an aquamarine color as the liquids come together.If you want to make a bigger batches, double or triple the quantities of each drink.There is a two-to-one ratio of Mountain Dew.Even though Baja Blast has a tropical-lime flavor, the best homemade version uses Cool Blue Gatorade, and not any of the lime or tropical flavors.
Step 2: Enjoy.
If you want to serve a refreshing cold beverage, add a few cubes of ice to the glass.It is possible to chill the drink for 30 minutes without watering it down.
Step 3: The drink can be turned into a slushy.
To turn your Baja Blast into a slushy, you'll need ice and a blender.The Baja Blast should be combined with about 18 cubes of ice.If there are no large chunks of ice left, blend the mixture on Snow or Ice Crush mode.Transfer the slushy to a glass.
Step 4: You need to peel the fruit.
Put the lemons, limes, and oranges under running water and scrub them with a vegetable brush.Cut the fruits in half after drying them with a towel.To remove the juice from the bowl, use a reamer or juicer.When the juice has been removed, it's a good idea to peel the outer layer of the fruit.Don't bother with what's left of the fruit.
Step 5: The syrup should be made.
Combine the sugar, cream of tartar, and water in a saucepan.Stirring often, bring the mixture to a boil.Continue simmering for 20 minutes once it is boiling.After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and set the syrup aside to cool.
Step 6: The peels should be boiled in the water.
The water should be boiled in the kettle.Add the lemon, lime, and orange to the bowl with the boiling water.Put the bowl in a towel and steep it.The water will return to room temperature after one to two hours.
Step 7: Put all the ingredients together.
When the water has cooled, it's a good idea to take out the peels.Add the syrup and juices to the water.The homemade mixture has a similar flavor to Mountain Dew.If you want the soda to be a similar color, you can add green and yellow food coloring.
Step 8: The drink should be carbonated.
You can carbonate drinks at home.If you want to make yourself with carbonated water, you can either buy it at the store or use a home machine.To carbonate your Mountain Dew this way, add enough carbonated water to achieve the level of fizziness you want for the soda.Dry ice or champagne yeast can be used to carbonate your soda.
Step 9: Take the cream and whip it.
Place the bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.Once chilled, pour the whipping cream into the bowl and beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about nine minutes.The cream should be kept in the fridge until it is time to whip it.It is important to chill everything before whipping so that air can be incorporated into the cream.
Step 10: Take the milk and Mountain Dew with it.
Take the sweetened Condensed Milk and fold it in with a rubber spatula.Add the Mountain Dew and fold it in.Baking using folding combines ingredients with different densities.To fold the ingredients into the whipped cream, use the rubber spatula to scoop the cream from the bottom of the bowl.This will make the whipped cream light and airy.
Step 11: The food coloring can be added.
Add food coloring and green to the bowl with the ice cream base.If you want to combine, stir.If necessary, add more food coloring.It is possible to achieve a different color with the color ratios.Try to add an extra drop of green or fewer drops of yellow.
Step 12: Before serving, freeze.
Place the ice cream base in the freezer bowl.A layer of plastic wrap protects the top from freezer burn.Press the plastic wrap down and it will almost touch the top of the mixture.Transfer the mixture to the freezer by putting it on the air-tight lid.Allow the ice cream to chill for six to eight hours.Ice cream should be portioned out with an ice cream scoop when it is cold.
