I have always made my girls bottles and sippy cups en masse.  My girls had problems latching so I pumped and used bottles, so to make it easier in the middle of the night I would make up a days worth of bottles at one time, then I could just warm one up when needed.  So naturally I did the same thing when my girls moved to sippy cups.  My youngest is on a nearly all liquid diet (her choice, not mine) and goes through 5-6 cups a day!  So I make up her cups either the evening before or that morning before leaving for the day.  Two with milk and the rest 1/2 water 1/2 juice.  Then one day I was reading (big surprise) and they went a step further by suggesting making up all the cups at once but then also putting them on the lowest shelf in the fridge so your kids can get their own drinks!  Saving you more valuable time and teaching them some independence and self reliance, and how to close the fridge door after themselves.
