To make Cinnamon oleo (homemade):

Combine 250g sugar, peel of 5 lemons and 3 limes with 6 cracked cinnamon sticks added) in a zip bag for 24 hours in a refrigerator.

Review:

With homemade Cinnamon Oleo and fresh ginger juice as ingredients, this cocktail needs a lot of prep to make. Salty grapefruit soda is also not well distributed. If you do then, depending on your oleo, you may find yourself adding a touch more oleo or adding some sugar syrup to balance.
