I have in the past made my own Mai Tai mix for quick mixing - so at least at the 1.5 litre level it works out.

Here is the math that I used (I use equal part lime to Curacao/syrups, to my own taste):

Makes 750 ml of 'mix'

375 ml Fresh Lime Juice
187 1/2 ml Orange Curacao
93 3/4 ml Simple Syrup
93 3/4 ml Orgeat

You can use 2oz of the mix with 1oz each of your rums: Mai Tai Love!

So, 1/2 of a bottle each of your rums and the entirety of this mix bottle should make a decent punch.

For the traditional 'mix' here is the math:

Makes 750 ml of 'mix'

250 ml Fresh Lime Juice
250 ml Oreange Curacao
125 ml Simple Syrup
125 ml Orgeat

mix 1.5 ml of this mix with 1oz each of your rums (or one bottle of the mix with 2/3rds each of your rums for the punch)

Did that make any sense?
