In a saucepan, combine water and sugar to create a sugar syrup. Simmer until the sugar is dissolved, then allow it to cool.
Once cooled, mix in fresh lime and lemon juice to the syrup to prepare sweet and sour mix.
Prepare the glass by wetting the rim with lime and dipping it in kosher salt; fill the glass with ice.
In a shaker, combine the tequila, sweet and sour mix, and orange liqueur with some ice. Shake well until chilled.
Strain the drink into the prepared glass over the ice and garnish with a lime wedge.
