Basically it is peach juice with artificial fake ice, lime and mint. Maybe a mojito but run of mint.

Move the table around and around until I found the sexy hero of the drink.Used two black board on the side to avoid the reflection the moonlight was at 20 percent. The picture may be bore, but I happy with the result of the experiment. Use 50/50 of water and kart corn syrup for the condensation on the glass.

Thank you to Gene51 for the advice.

Please critique, love to heard from all of you.

Wouldn't the cherries get in the way of drinking it?

Attractive photo, like the mat under the drink, the background and lighting work well. In DL, it appears that the cherries are the razor sharp focal point. The drink is, as fruit based drinks are, a little murky and the lime is clear enough so it probably doesn't matter. Hard to think of fruity drinks here in Montana in the Winter - at my elbow Laphroaig on the rocks with a splash of soda!

Nice work Ernesto and Gene is always great for advice on photography, if I remember his food ain’t bad either and he corrects my spelling on all my Puerto Rican recipes.

Thanks
Joe

Maybe, the mint was not the best for the shot, so I used the cherries for garnish.

Thank you for the feedback, ran out of mint so used cherries for garnish. The shot was more about reflection base on the information that you sent me. I think, I did well on that. Here in Central Florida is about fruity don’t drink that. But they look pretty on photos. You have the Laphroarig never have it before. I have to look in the liquor store, but I have my Woodford last night.

Laphroaig is not only expensive, it is definitely an acquired taste. Very smoky and some reviewers say "medicinal." I like it and buy myself an new bottle each year at Christmas!
