Taco Bell's Olivia Rodrigo Pink Baja Blast
Taco Bell has launched a limited-edition pink lemonade version of its Baja Blast soda, created with singer Olivia Rodrigo.
Taco Bell has launched a new pink lemonade version of its Baja Blast soda, created in partnership with singer Olivia Rodrigo. According to a review from The Takeout, the 'You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast' debuted at the chain's Live Más Cafés on August 29 and will be available nationwide for a limited time starting September 24.
The original Baja Blast was introduced in 2004. The new pink variant is the result of a collaboration with Rodrigo, a longtime Taco Bell fan who wanted to blend the signature lime flavor with a pink lemonade twist.
Taste and Comparison
The reviewer, who sampled both drinks provided by the Live Más Café, describes the pink soda's appearance as a pale pink, not hot pink. They found its flavor reminiscent of childhood pink lemonade, with tart lemon notes blending with the sweet soda. The drink was deemed refreshing on its own and paired well with both crispy beef and soft chicken tacos.
In a direct comparison, the reviewer favored the pink version over the classic blue Baja Blast. They described the original as having a 'cloying tropicality,' while the pink option was more subtle and enjoyable. The reviewer noted they typically only manage a few sips of the original before needing ice to dilute the flavor, but consumed the pink drink readily.
Price and Availability
The drink is currently only available at Taco Bell's 38 Live Más Cafés in Southern California, Dallas, Houston, and Las Vegas. A nationwide limited-time release begins on September 24. Taco Bell will also offer a frozen version.
The source provides the following price details for the new beverage, though notes prices may vary by location:
| Size | Price |
|---|---|
| Small | $2.99 |
| Medium | $3.19 |
| Large | $3.39 |
The frozen version is priced at $3.89 for a regular and $4.09 for a large. The reviewer expressed hope the item remains on the menu long enough to enjoy more before the weather turns cold.

The review concludes with a strong recommendation to try the drink, stating the carbonated pink lemonade 'tickled my tongue and made the whole experience really enjoyable.'
