Have you ever tried cooking with a soft drink? I once smoked a turkey with Dr. Pepper and it came out surprisingly well. It made me want to try more soda-infused recipes and Mountain Dew is ready to help.

According to Food & Wine, Mountain Dew is releasing a cookbook in celebration of the citrusy soda's 80th anniversary. The Big Bold Book of MTN Dew Recipes features 40 recipes for fans and by fans.

The cookbook's chapters include “Bada$$ Breakfasts,” “Dippin’ with Dew,” “Dew Does Dinner,” “Satisfying Sides,” “Dang Good Desserts,” and “Liquid Legends.” You'll find instructions for making green pancakes, salsa, green eggs and ham, pickles and more, all with Mountain Dew in the list of ingredients.

The Big Bold Book of MTN DEW Recipes is set to debut in the beverage brand's new online DEW Store starting the week of November 16th. It will be available for a limited time only with a suggested retail price of $30.
