Spice Valentine's Day up with a Tini Bigs' Ménage à Trois Martini

This Valentine's Day, suggest a Ménage à Trois to spice things up with your significant other - both of you + a really good martini.

From the Tini Bigs Big Martinis book comes this recipe for a Ménage à Trois martini:
2 ounces Bacardi O rum
1 ounce Disaronno Originale amaretto
1/2 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce pineapple juice
1/2 ounce fresh sweet-and-sour mix*
1 wedge each of lemon, lime and orange
1 ounce champagne

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in rum and amaretto. Add orange juice, pineapple juice and sweet-and-sour mix. Add lemon, lime and orange wedges. Muddle contents vigorously, then strain into a big martini glass and finish with a gentle pour of champagne on top. Serve with a twist - like a true Ménage à Trois.

*Sweet-and-sour Mix:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Combine sugar and water until all the sugar is dissolved. Add lemon, lime and orange juices and refrigerate.
