Pre-mixing is a challenge....

Here is what I do (your millage may vary):

Squeeze all of your limes into a pour container about 2ish hours before the party. Take a peice of plastic wrap and lay over the juice so that it is actually laying on the juice and not just covering the container (you don't want air getting to the juice).

Mix in a second pour container everything else by ratio. If you want to make a pretty presentation at the bar, mix everything but one rum.

Then during the party you can pour your lime juice and your mix (and your rum if you left one out) and make Mai-Tai's as fast (or slow) as you want. Line up your glasses, pour your lime, pour your mix, Flip (you can stir if you want, but stir hard), garnish and serve.

PS - This is what I mean by flip
