📜 History
Pomada is inextricably linked to Menorca and its unique gin tradition. British naval influence during their 18th-century occupation established gin distillation on the island, resulting in Xoriguer and other local brands. Pomada became the signature way to enjoy this gin, particularly during Sant Joan festivities in June. The drink's name refers to the foamy head created when mixing.
