My advice is to not mix in the liquor until ready to serve. As long as you can refridgerate the mix in a sealed container, it'll be okay. This is what every bar in America does every day. There are bottles in the fridge and bottles in the wells of mix. Trader Vic's makes 99% of their Mai Tais this way. Just squeeze a half lime and add rum and mint. Put everything in a bottle except ice and liquor. Serve by pouring in liquor and then mix on top of ice and stir and serve. You can also not stir, per an old fashioned stlye.
