Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Syrup

In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of carbonated water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow to cool.

2. Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled syrup with the remaining carbonated water (3 cups), lemon juice, lime juice, citric acid, and caffeine powder. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.

Flavoring

3. Add Flavorings

Add the orange extract, natural lemon-lime flavoring, and green food coloring to the mixture. Stir until all flavorings are well combined and the color is uniform.

Final Steps

4. Bottle and Chill

Pour the Mountain Dew into bottles or a large pitcher. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill.

5. Serve

Serve chilled over ice in glasses. Enjoy your homemade Mountain Dew!
