In a saucepan, simmer the tamarind and water over low heat, stirring, until
the pulp dissolves. Press the mixture into a shaker through a fine-mesh
sieve. Add 1/2 cup of the tequila and the sugar; shake vigorously. Add ice
to the shaker, then add 1/2 cup of lime juice, the Cointreau, the orange
juice and the remaining 1/2 cup of tequila; shake well.
Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice and the salt mixture into 2
bowls. Dip the rims of 4 old-fashioned glasses first in the lime juice and
then in the salt mixture. Fill the glasses with ice. Strain the drink into
the glasses and garnish with the lime wedges.
