Make a Cocktail from London’s Pop-Up King, Jimmy Garcia

Dubbed ‘London’s Pop-Up King’, Jimmy Garcia has been dishing up mouth-watering, gourmet grub at temporary locations since February 2011. Each summer Jimmy pops up, serves up and receives a whole bunch of satisfied smiles.

Hidden behind a wooden door at 409 Clapham Road, London, the chef’s latest project, The Secret Garden, offers “a selection of creative, botanical themed cocktails, and a food menu designed to showcase the best of britain’s garden produce.” As the pop-up concept suggests, the eatery only runs for a limited time and is set to close on August 31st, so make sure you get down there and fill your belly sharpish!

At Data Transmission we’re partial to beverage or two, so Jimmy’s hooked us up with the recipe for his Dilliusion Cocktail (available at The Secret Garden). Simply follow the recipe below for a refreshing summertime tipple and head to Jimmy’s website for more info or to make a booking.
