Prepare the Smoky Ham-Infused Simple Syrup: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Add the diced smoky ham and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes.

Strain out the ham and let the syrup cool before using.

Prepare the Glass: Rub the rim of a glass with a lime wedge and dip it into salt to coat.

Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and smoky ham-infused simple syrup.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.

Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a lime wedge and optionally, some items from a charcuterie board like olives or pickles for an extra touch.
