- STIR lemon juice and sugar in base of shaker until sugar is dissolved
- Add Scotch and orange curaçao, SHAKE with ice and strain back into shaker
- DRY SHAKE (without ice) and slowly pour 2/3rds of the contents of the shaker from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in glass) while simultaneously pouring soda with your other hand
- The cocktail and soda should form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass
- As when pouring a Guinness, to achieve a perfect head on a Derby Fizz, the cocktail should be left to settle for at least a minute before topping off with what remains in the shaker
- Ideally, during the settling period, the glass should be placed in a glass froster/fridge/freezer
- As the final contents of the shaker are poured into the glass so the head should rise like a soufflé.
