Prepare the Lime Syrup: Combine lime wheels, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high. Bring to a simmer, stirring often until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard lime wheels, reserving syrup. Refrigerate syrup in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
