Upgrade Your Sangria With Summer Berries and Peaches

Sure, you can make a boring, pedestrian, run-of-the-mill sangria. Just add some apples, oranges, and lemons to a subpar bottle of white zinfandel or whatever have you.

Or, you can make an upgraded sangria—just as easily, we promise—by taking a little bit of this advice. Why not use the fruits that are in season during, well, sangria season? Barcelona-born Angel Zapata Martin of Barrafina, the tapas bars in London, is just the man to show you how it's done.

Blackberries, raspberries, and peaches are abundant and delicious just when you most want to drink sangria. Throw them into a pitcher with a few special touches—namely, agave syrup and a vanilla pod—and you'll soon be drinking the best sangria you've ever tasted.

Salud! You'll never go back to drinking lazy sangria again.
