You've got almost 4x as much mixer as spirits, which is going to make for a very weak drink (which will get further diluted by ice as you've noted. If I was going to make one of those I'd cut the juices to 1oz each and the club soda to 1.5oz. That would bring the spirits to the fore a bit and not have the ice kill it. From there if you find it too tart your choices would be less lime or more of something else depending on how you wanted to affect the taste from the spirits.
