What I mean by high quality/top shelf is the use of premium spirits and fresh ingredients. No rail pour liquors or pre-mix solutions...

The way I make them at home is
Squeeze limes and lemons (3-1 ratio)
add zest and allow juice to sit inrefrigerator overnight
Make simple syrup (saturated sugar and water solution)
next day,
-add two shot glasses of juice
-couple tablespoons simple syrup (more or less to desired sweetness)
-one shot tequilla (I like Herradurra Resposado)
-and one half shot of Grand Marnier (can use tripple sec or cointreau if you prefer)
Shake with ice, serve on the rocks
Not an exact recipe, you can adjust amounts to suit you. At times I have even added a little fresh squeezed orange juice, though I prefer it without,

I got my recipe for the bar from Grand Marnier. It's 2 oz. premium tequila, 2 oz. Grand Marnier, and 2 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice. Shake over ice, and pour onto fresh ice. They were very popular at my restaurant.

Muddle limes,
pour ingredients,
shake with ice,
strain into a bucket glass filled with ice.
