Mountain Dew is one of my very favorite sodas. There is nothing better on a hot summer day than an ice cold can of Mountain Dew soda. Many of my friends in the theater world also love Mountain Dew. When I came across a recipe for Mountain Dew Cupcakes, I knew I had to make them. These cupcakes are moist, citrus-y and delicious. And the recipe couldn't be easier!

1/8 cup (approximately) of Mountain Dew
1 tbsp of lemon juice

Enjoy with a tall glass of ice cold Mountain Dew!
This is a great way to impart some of that wonderful lemon/lime flavor! You see a lot of recipes using coke, but hardly any using this soda. Pretty cool that it is in the frosting as well. They look amazing!
