Jojiro commented on 4/12/2026:

A lot of San Francisco cinnamon syrups, influenced primarily by Trick Dog and Trick Dog alumni, use a recipe that is much more cinnamon-forward than what you'd find on the East Coast. This turns out to matter for this drink, where cinnamon is a star player. Punch lists the cinnamon syrup recipe as follows:

"Cinnamon Syrup
4 cups white sugar
2 cups water
25 grams (about 10) cinnamon sticks

Combine the sugar and water in a pan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Gently crush the cinnamon sticks, then add them to the syrup. As soon as you see bubbles, cover and turn off the heat. Let sit for 20 minutes, then strain, label, date and refrigerate."

This is ~2.5x the cinnamon by mass (presumably more than that by surface area) more than what Death & Company, Juliette Laroui, or Alley Twenty Six call for for their syrups, and the simple syrup is rich (2:1 sugar to water) as well.
