Eating and Drinking at a Son Bou Fiesta
02.02.10
If you’re staying at Son Bou villas during one of Menorca’s famous fiestas then you might want to celebrate with some traditional local festival food. Invite over your friends and serve up these traditional specialities to carry on the carnival back at home.
Pomada
Pomada is the national cocktail of Menorca, which may have something to do with the Menorcan’s love of gin. When making up a pitcher of this cocktail, Xoriguer is really the only gin that you can get away with putting in this cocktail and you’ll soon discover that the Menorcan local gin tastes nothing like its English counterpart. To make this put plenty of Xoriguer in a tall glass and add ice and lemonade up to three quarters of the glass. Add soda water and sugar syrup and then garnish with a lemon.
Coca amb Xocolati
Son Bou villas are perfect for entertaining guests and if you want to carrying on the after-party back at your holiday home then make sure you serve the traditional party food of Coca amb Xocolati. This is a baked cake traditionally served with a thick hot chocolate. You can buy these cakes anywhere around Son Bou during a fiesta, but if you’re feeling really adventurous then why not try creating your own?
