tropical treat
Warm-climate refreshment
A tropical treat is any enjoyable food or drink featuring flavors associated with warm climates—coconut, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, banana.
The phrase appears on packaging and menus to evoke vacation indulgence: These popsicles are a tropical treat on hot summer days.
The term is marketing-speak as much as description.
