Even the name sounds refreshing! Mountain Dew or as the branding displays Mtn Dew is one of America’s iconic and favourite soda drinks.
The original Mountain Dew goes right back to 1940 and was created by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman as a mixer for bourbon or whiskey. The name ‘Mountain Dew’ was originally old time Southern slang for moonshine or homemade whiskey! Although this Mountain Dew was always non-alcoholic soft drink.
Over the next few decades, the Mountain Dew recipe was modified and in August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand was bought by the Pepsi-Cola company, who changed the branding to attract a younger generation and expanded distribution across the US. In 1974, Pepsi added orange flavouring to the lemon-lime mix and today’s signature lime-green colouring that we’ve all come to know and love.
What flavour is Mountain Dew?
Mountain Dew original flavour is a smooth and tasty citrus flavoured caffeinated soda drink, and in 1988 Diet Mountain Dew was introduced. In addition to being a great soft drink, it’s also good as a mixer or for adding to a variety of cocktails.
