Mix the base ingredients in advance, but add the lemon-lime soda and ice just before serving to maintain carbonation and temperature.
A dry, light red wine like Pinot Noir or a young red blend works well; avoid heavy or sweet wines that would overpower the tequila.
Wet the rim with a lime wedge, then dip into coarse salt at a 45-degree angle, rotating to coat evenly for a consistent rim.
Fresh lime juice is preferred for better flavor, but bottled works in a pinch; use slightly less as bottled versions are more concentrated.
Double all ingredients proportionally, but taste after adding the soda since carbonation levels can vary by brand.
