Prepare fresh cinnamon syrup*, if necessary. Prepare a cocktail glass by wetting the rim with an orange and then frosting it with cinnamon-brown sugar powder. Assemble the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker glass and shake well. Strain into the prepared glass and drop orange zest into the drink. Serve and enjoy!

*For the fresh cinnamon syrup:‍

Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add sugar and stir until it has dissolved completely. Reduce the heat, add the cinnamon stick and cover the pan. Let simmer for 10–15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Allow it to cool and steep for at least 1 hour; the longer it is allowed to steep, the stronger the cinnamon flavor will be. Remove the cinnamon stick, pour the syrup into a bottle, and refrigerate.

The syrup will be good for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
