Instructions

Simmer the water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool to create sugar syrup.
Stir in the fresh lime and lemon juice into the cooled syrup to create the sweet and sour mix.
Prepare the glass by rimming it with lime juice and kosher salt, filling it with ice.
Shake the añejo tequila, sweet and sour mix, and orange liqueur in a shaker with ice until well chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over ice and garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

For a saltier rim, adjust the kosher salt amount on the glass rim to taste.
Feel free to replace añejo tequila with your preferred tequila type for different flavor profiles.
