1. Finely shred the peel from the 2 limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon). Stir lime peel into water. Let stand for 30 to 60 minutes. Strain lime peel mixture through a sieve; discard peel. Meanwhile, squeeze limes to make 1/4 cup juice; set aside.
2. Stir sugar into strained lime peel mixture until dissolved. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Pour into a blender container; add ice cubes. Cover; blend until ice is chopped. If desired, rub glass rims with lime wedges and dip in coarse salt. Pour tequila mixture over crushed ice.
