In celebration of 2/22/22, Mountain Dew released their highly-anticipated alcoholic Dew in three states: Florida, Tennessee and good ol' Iowa.
After calling a bunch of Hy-Vee stores, I lucked out at the Ankeny Prairie Trail location.
- I picked out a Black Cherry tall boy for $4 — a nod to my favorite Dew flavor, Code Red.
At first pour, it fizzled and foamed just like pop.
- But in my mouth it was just ... bad.
It lacked the sweetness and refreshing crispness that I crave from a Mountain Dew and tasted more reminiscent of diet cherry Robitussin.
Still want to Do the Dew? Shipments of it are going out this week to local grocers and convenience stores.
