To decorate the rim, dip the glass in water first, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Carefully pour in the maple syrup, orange juice, simple syrup, lime juice, and orange bitters.

Stir, then pour in the carbonated drink.

Slowly stir everything together.

Add one or two ice cubes.

Add the finishing touch: a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.
