If you do make a "batch of Mai Tais" hold back on what would be considered the full amount of lime, say about 75% of what would be otherwise called for. Taste the result. At that point you can adjust your lime upward, if needed, without ruining a whole batch of Mai Tais by over-liming. Also, as Martin mentioned, if you don't or can't shake the batches, adding a touch of water compensates for the unstated ingredient of every drink shaken with ice. I have a bottle at the bar labeled "Melt" for these batch mixing occasions.
