Aloha nui 'umi 'umi,

Yes, that's the recipe for the drink pictured. My task is to serve 96 of them over the course of an hour, so I'm merely scaling up the ingredients. I'll be using two giant shakers, which can handle eight drinks apiece. So I figured out how much I need of each ingredient per shaker, then follow that recipe. I'm not a fan of batching cocktails as a punch, unless they were actually designed to be a punch. I like to shake or mix the drinks as fresh as possible. After mixing up some very complicated cocktails this way (see Zombie above), this one should be a breeze.

If you're curious, here's the grand total:
48 oz lime juice
48 oz OJ
48 oz grapefruit juice
48 oz passionfruit syrup
48 oz dark Jamaican rum
96 oz gold Cuban rum
4 oz Angostura bitters

Okole maluna!
