tropical punch

Sweet island drink

Tropical punch is a sweet, fruity beverage flavored to evoke tropical fruits—typically some combination of pineapple, coconut, mango, passion fruit, or citrus.

The term covers both alcoholic cocktails served at tiki bars and nonalcoholic drinks like juice boxes or powdered mixes: The kids drank tropical punch at the birthday party.

The flavor profile is more suggestion than specification—bright, sweet, and vaguely exotic.
