Since I'm married to a Cuban, this is a holiday drink in our household.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Who's ready for a girls' night in? Be sure to include this super tasty Cuban sangria on your party menu. The combination of lemon and orange juice with the slices of lemon, orange, and lime gives this sangria a tangy kick. Use a dry red wine to offset the sweetness of the triple sec. Brandy brings a warm and slightly sweet undertone to the mix.
