We had a great lunch at the Pacific Catch location in Dublin, including a really great Poke bowl. This west coast chain is a favorite of ours.
I also enjoyed the juicy Mai Tai that includes POG juice and lime along with Flor de Caña silver rum, and overproof rum, and Lahaina Dark Rum. I asked for the dark rum on the side just to taste it, finding it to be mild in flavor and light in body. It is made from a stock of molasses produced a decade ago when Maui still had a sugar refinery, which is a nice bit of history even if the rum itself isn’t really anything noteworthy. I did notice they’re using Kuleana rums from the island of Hawai’i as well, so it’s nice to see Hawaiian rums in widespread use here.
Pacific Catch’s Mai Tai has a ton of flavor and leans a little boozy, making this is one my favorite island style Mai Tais.
