1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Fresh orange peel, for garnish
Cinnamon stick, for garnish

Cook’s Note
Most bartenders make a batch of simple syrup with a sugar to water ratio that's 1 to 1, 1 part sugar to 1 part water. This is because it comes together easily and results in an easier pour. We make ours 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. It's a little thicker, so you use less.
