LIFESTYLE – Enjoy Heart London’s favourite autumn tipples
Neurita Rosa with Tequila
We are big tequila fans at Heart London Magazine as are especially fond of Neurita Tequila which is infused with different flavours. The Rose flavour is nfused with Raspberry & Strawberry and Pomegranate fruit extracts which makes for a slightly sweeter Tequila. This delicious tipple is perfect straight, over ice or in a cocktail. This premium Agave Tequila sourced from Jalisco. This tipple boasts beautiful tasting notes with hits of berry with prominent agave notes of a good tequila! Amazing as a pink gin sub in an afternoon sprit!
Available from Neurita for £31.99
Villon Cognac
Villon also has quite the backstory. It is distilled, blended, and bottled in southwestern France and is named for the well-known 15th century French poet, Francois Villon, who notoriously vanished after killing a “wicked” priest. The palate is syrupy sweet with more sticky vanilla bean, nutmeg, and gingerbread notes that turn increasingly exotic across the palate, turning to chai spice and strong black tea. A touch of lemony citrus and sugar cookie linger on the finish.
Available from Master of Malt for £39.95
Captain Morgan Black Spiced
This Black Spiced Rum was released in 2012, and it pays homage to the story of Captain Morgan’s burial on the shores of Port Royal Harbour, Jamaica in 1688.

Dutch Barn Vodka
Ellers Farm Distillery is situated just by Stamford Bridge, North Yorkshire. The road to sustainability and unique taste starts there. The water they use is sourced directly from the ground below the farm and the vodka process will soon have access to the farm’s own 20-acre orchard that is currently being created. As such, all the vodka is made from scratch using British apples. On opening the bottle, you immediately smell lovely notes of fruit. This fruitiness comes through in the taste of the vodka, as well as a hint of pepper. It is clean, fresh and smooth. Delicious however you take it.
