We're having our housewarming party on 4/13 for our Tiki Acres Ranch. I'd like to measure and mix all the basic ingredients for mai tais ahead of time as much as possible. That way, come the 13th, I can simply pour the pre-measured mix into the shaker, shake it up, and pour over cracked ice, instead of the 1/4 oz of this, 1/2 oz of that, while everyone stands around waiting.

I'm using the recipe that Donhonyc posted:

1 oz. Lime juice
1/4 oz. Curacao
1/2 oz. Trader Vic Orgeat
1/4 oz. Trader Vic Rock Candy Syrup
2 oz. Myer's Dark Rum

But the question is, how far in advance can I mix the ingredients without having it go bad or oxidize or something else unpleasant? Or can I mix SOME of the ingredients but leave others out until the last minute (such as the lime juice)?
