Make the cinnamon elixir:

In a small saucepan, bring the ground cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, and distilled or tap water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Cinnamon elixir can be prepared in advance and refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Make the cardamom elixir:

In a small saucepan, bring the cardamom and distilled or tap water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Cardamom elixir can be prepared in advance and refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Make the Lucky Devil:

Pour the lime juice onto a small plate and spread the granulated honey on a second small plate. Dip the rim of a 12-ounce glass into the lime juice, then dip it into the granulated honey to lightly coat. Repeat with a second 12-ounce glass.

Pour 1 ounce each of the cinnamon elixir, cardamom elixir, and simple syrup into each prepared glass. Add ice and enough soda water to fill each glass. Garnish with saffron rock candy.
