We\u2019re not in Fiji anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Island\u201d fan favorite Iris Kendall checked out a different kind of tropical vibe over the weekend in Miami.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night, the reality star was thousands of miles from the villa drama at Grails in Wynwood for a meet and greet with Smirnoff Ice. The popup was to introduce a new fruity line of flavors called Sunny Days, \u201cinspired by the nostalgic tastes of summers past.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kendall knows a thing or two about summers past. Last year around this time, on season 7, the 26-year-old Angeleno entered the villa, briefly hooking up with now ex, Spaniard Pepe Garcia, with whom she came in fourth place. A few months later, Kendall reconnected with \u201cLI\u201d alum TJ Palma, who played baseball with the University of Tampa. The two item have been an item ever since.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Palma … He was along or at least part of the business\/pleasure trip down south: As per Kendall\u2019s social media, she didn\u2019t just imbibe alcohol. The model-influencer happens to be a big time matcha girly and went hunting for the creamy green tea at a few local spots.<\/p>\n

In one of her TikToks, Kendall opens a haul that Honey Veil in South Miami<\/a> sent over to her at the lobby of 1 Hotel South Beach where she was staying.<\/p>\n

She and Palma also had a cute day date at Brickell City Centre, dropping by the A-OK Cafe, conveniently located inside the Aritzia store.<\/p>\n

In another video, she took her followers along to Coral Gables\u2019 newly opened The Stand on Miracle Mile.<\/p>\n

The Japanese cafe got the highest marks of all the places she visited, with Kendall exclaiming, \u201cThis is actually the best matcha I think I\u2019ve ever had in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
