While simple sugar is cooking, prepare rest of margarita. Add Topo Chico or your favorite sparkling water, tequila and lime juice to a large pitcher.
When simple sugar is done and cooled, add to pitcher. Mix all ingredients well. Add quartered lemons, limes and sliced jalapeños. Note, if you want it less spicy, remove seeds from jalapeños.

With two small bowls, fill one bowl with about an inch of water and another bowl with your chile lime salt. Dip your glass upside down into the water bowl to wet the rim. Immediately dip into salt to rim.
Pour margarita in glass and enjoy!
