Fresh lime juice is always nice in non-alcoholic drinks, it perks them up and adds the missing sour element.

Mojitos are half decent without the booze, maybe try adding some orange bitters and it would be even closer to a mai tai.

I agree with humu on the fizz factor, it helps cut the sweetness so many non-alcoholic drinks are in excess of.

We're lucky in that many of the important elements in a good tiki drink are non-alcoholic. Fresh lime, lemon & grapefruit, maple syrup, sugar syrup, orgeat, passion fruit & coconut syrups, all the juices, falernum(available in both alcoholic and non), bitters, orange & rose flower water, etc. etc.

There really are so many things to experiment with.
