You can pre-mix the rums in one container and then pre-mix the other stuff in another container. The fresh lime is the only ingredient that doesn't mix and hold well. If you don't mind the bottled lime, you can put that in your mix and keep in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks. Fresh lime is always better, but not always available or convenient.....

Any particular reason why you wouldn't mix the rums along with the curacao and the sweetner all at the same time? I can't think of any reason why their flavors would change appreciably over time. All are shelf stable already, and a mixture of all of them should taste the same 2 hours, 2 days, or even 2 months later, I would think. Personally I would never recommend using bottled lime juice, simply because I don't like the taste at all. I'd rather not drink, than have a drink with bottled lime juice.
