KiwiPix, the tilt feeling was an illusion. There is a stripe running around the glass.
I lit this with an Alien Bees B400 light with a 20 degree light modifier. I tried the light in several positions and finally settled on lighting it from the front with the light pointing up through the liquid. Couldn't quite get the light right on the liquid pouring into the glass. It picked up a lot of color from the blue stripe on the glass. If I had more time it could have been better.
Thanks to my assistant micknewton for all his help.

Thanks christie3. I'm excited to be in the top 20 instead of the bottom 20.

ahh yes, this is seriously good commercial-grade imagery. Lighting and composition just spot on. I'm bugged by the 'tilt' feeling. Look forward to the explanation of the lighting set up.

I like the way this is lit. It reminds me of a fancy "martini bar" where the bar lights up underneath the drinks.
