It isn't a fictional drink. SPIT actually exists and has been tasted by some South Pacificans. 

Gameside resolved this over years ago after the ratification of SPaRTA, the South Pacific Regional Trade Agreement to normalize the production and trade of South Pacific Iced Tea in the South Pacific, which put an end to the horrific SPIT wars of 2017.

 

To be designated genuine South Pacific Iced Tea, a drink must meet three minimum requirements:
1) a plant base indigenous to the South Pacific Region (coconut, guava, noni, orange, passionfruit, banana, grape, pineapple, apple, pear, plum, berries, cucumber, cranberry, strawberry, papaya, melon, guava, cassava, starfruit, breadfruit, soursop or guanabana, grapefruit, mango, kiwi, lemon, lime, agave or aloe). Nations may petition the SPIT commission for approval of additional ingredients.
2) served cold, with ice cubes, ice "slush" or ice cream. Warm or Hot drinks are ineligible for an "Iced" designation
3) contain a "euphoria or pleasure inducing" ingredient, normally alcohol although sweeteners would be acceptable

Safety, production and distribution standards:- the drink must not cause permanent harm or injury
- production facilities must not contravene a nations labor standards
- exported versions of a national SPIT must be of the same quality served in a host nation
- versions of SPIT containing addictive components must include a warning
