In the novel, Oab explains that the granita gives a sense of "Pain of Joy". Wan used to be super into athletics and exercising--a complete gym guy! So Oab tells him that while the dessert is delicious it goes against his basic ideals and love for being in shape. Despite that, Oab asks him, "Knowing this, would you still want another taste". Earlier, Wan tells Oab that while working out is difficult and causes a lot of "pain" it's a joyful pain because you're passionate about it.

The novel describes them coming together this way as well; they have butted heads, dislike each other, and want each other at the same time. So when he made the granita, which contains vodka, it is both bitter and sweet, much like their relationship which was built on lies.

He also says that the granita is made by all fresh fruit and no syrups. Adding a refreshing feel to it. So when he tells Wan in the series that the granita is, "Just like him" he is calling Wan a refreshing, yet bitter-sweet joy to be around.
