Inspired by a trip to a remote island in the Caribbean, our team sought to recreate the flavors and ambiance of a tropical getaway. We experimented with various fruits and ingredients, meticulously balancing their sweetness, acidity, and textures. After countless iterations and taste tests, the Tropical Retreat Bowl was born, embodying the essence of a sun-drenched paradise.
