Just be sure to store the mix in an old, clean bottle or covered pitcher - don't just leave it open to the air. Also search TC for this thread: Recipe: tiki drinks to bottle for party (sorry - I can't get the hyperlink to work). There's a whole bunch of links towards the bottom of the page that might give you some good advice. When you start bulking mixing drinks, flavors - especially sweetness - tend to fall out of balance and need adjustment. Enjoy.
