“If you've ever had canned mandarin oranges, this tastes like a carbonated version of the syrup in there.”

Introduction
Another new entrant to the Celsius lineup that I've been absolutely dying to try. Both Mandarin and Marshmallow are flavors that I don't think I've seen represented in energy drinks, ever. And I gave Arctic Vibe Sparkling Frozen Berry a 8.3/10, so I'm hoping some of those vibes are present in this Vibe.
Appearance
Celsius killed it with the can. Orange palm trees and a sunset, what more could you want?
Taste
Before taking my first sip I called Celsius' bluff in my head and thought no way they actually have this drink taste like Marshmallow.
Man, was I wrong. It tastes like 50% mandarin, 50% marshmallow. True to the name. So yeah, it's sweet. If you've ever had canned mandarin oranges, this tastes like a carbonated version of the syrup in there.
I say all of this relatively lovingly - it is a Celsius, so it's not going to be bad. But it is too sweet for my tastes. The marshmallow aftertaste isn't up my alley.
Kick
200mg of caffeine as part of an energy blend with Taurine, Guarana, and Green Tea leaf extract. As usual, this Celsius gave me the boost I was looking for in a 200mg drink.
Conclusion
I think this is an honorable swing and miss for Celsius, but I'd like to hear from marshmallow lovers to see if it's just me on this one.
