Instructions
- Pour the tequila, sugar syrup, Limoncello, and simple syrup in a cocktail mixer or jar.

- Pour the lemon-tequila mixture over the ice, being careful not to knock salt off the rims.

Notes
Tips:
- Chill the separate ingredients before assembling the drinks. Or, combine the liquid ingredients in a jar and store it in the fridge until it's time to serve the drinks.
- Salt on the rims is up to you, of course. Feel free to omit it, or even try some fine sugar on the rims instead.
