  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar, lemon peel, and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add food coloring; stir until well combined. Transfer to a large bowl and add lemon juice and orange liqueur; stir until well combined.
