Use the entire contents of the bottles. Ways to Use Sangria Cubes: For a refreshing, Bellini-like cocktail, place three cubes in a champagne flute. Add an ounce of gin. Top with champagne. For a spritzerlike cocktail, place three cubes in a wine glass. Add white wine, then top with a splash of club soda or sparkling water.
