For a stronger orange flavor, consider adding a few drops of orange extract or a small amount of orange zest to the shaker. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your personal preference. Taste and add more if needed. If you don't have a shaker, you can mix the ingredients in a glass and stir well before pouring over ice. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the tequila with sparkling water or club soda. Consider using a sugar-free simple syrup for a smoother texture.
