In a large nonreactive saucepan combine sugar, lemon juice, key lime juice and zest, cactus, salt, and 1 ½ cups of water.
Bring liquid to a boil and simmer until sugar is dissolved and liquid thickens.
Remove from heat and let steep 1 hour.
Strain and discard cactus. Store syrup in a sealed bottle in the fridge. It can last up to two weeks.
To make soda, pour 1 ½ tablespoons of syrup over ice and mix with fresh seltzer water. Enjoy!
