Favorite tiki cocktails for a group?

I'm looking for tasty tiki cocktails to make for an 8-10 person group this weekend. They can be moderately complex, but nothing too time consuming.
Any recommendations?

Painkiller is one of my favorite tiki cocktails.

Painkillers, mai tais, pina coladas will all batch pretty well. Hemingway daiquiri is a nice change of pace and slightly less sugary sweet. 90% of tiki drinks are just a daiquiri derivation anyway and I say this as someone who loves a good tiki bar.

and by "daiquiri" you mean lime, sugar and rum. most people will think you mean frozen sugar drinks, so I'm just clarifying for you.
Yes tiki drinks can be quite good when done correctly. The problem is that we have over sugared them through the years.

Pain Killers or Mai Tai's. Pain Killers are a little heavy with the cream of coconut , so can only drink 1 or 2.
Can kill numerous Mai Tai's though.

Goombay Smash
1 oz. Malibu Caribbean Rum with Coconut Liqueur
1 oz. Captain Morgan Caribbean White Rum
1 oz. Captain Morgan Dark Spiced Rum- OPTIONAL
1/2 oz. Apricot Brandy
2 oz. DOLE Pineapple Juice (don't cut corners here - Dole Pineapple Juice is what Miss Emily's uses)
2 oz. Orange Juice
For scaling purposes, a fifth has roughly 25 ounces.
Those drinks are gonna be potent with 3.5oz per, so maybe double the juice.

1 large fresh pineapple chunk, about 1/4 cup
3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 ounce honey syrup

I've had success making large batches of Mai Tai's for pool parties.

Not a tiki cuz the fruity punches quickly get too sweet for me...dark and stormy.

Those pain killers are pretty good. I spent an afternoon drinking those things on a cruise ship one time.

Painkillers and Zombies are probably my favorites. I usually only do a Zombie if I'm only having one drink though and I don't think I would recommend it for a batch.
The only advice I'd give is to not cheap out on the rum. I'm not saying go crazy, but don't go bottom shelf.
Depending on what the recipe calls for, we use Smith & Cross a lot, our normal 151 is Goslings but we just got a bottle of Lemon-Hart's. The white rum we normally use is Plantation 3 Star. Most of the Hamilton's and the Plantation that we've tried, we've liked.

I’m fond of an Ancient Mariner. Most Tiki drinks are fairly strong, for a party I would tend to lean on weaker drinks in the tropical theme like the Pina Colada, Shark Attack, or Blue Hawaii.
