TIPS:
- Make a pitcher of Sangria: In a large pitcher (at least 10 cup/2.5 qt.), combine 6 fruit cups, 1 1/2 cups wine and 1/3 cup brandy. Stir, cover and refrigerate 2 to 24 hours before serving. To serve, add ice to each glass. Stir Sangria and pour evenly among 6 to 8 glasses. With a long spoon, divide fruit evenly among glasses. Add 1/4 cup seltzer to each glass; stir and garnish.
- Chill the Escapes cups in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before making cocktails
