Instructions

Simmer water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves to create sugar syrup, then allow it to cool.
Incorporate fresh lime and lemon juice into the cooled syrup to prepare the sweet and sour mix.
Prepare the glass rim by rubbing with lime and dipping in kosher salt, then fill the glass with ice.
In a shaker, combine tequila, sweet and sour mix, and orange liqueur with ice, shaking until chilled.
Strain the mixture into the glass over the ice and adorn with a lime wedge.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness of the mix by varying the amount of sugar to taste.
For an extra twist, consider adding a splash of fruit puree to the drink.
Garnish with a salt or sugar rim based on your preference for a traditional or sweet touch.
