I like working with photoshop mixing creativity and photography. I knew I couldn't do this in one shot. Don't have enough room or props.
Second image shows many of the layers needed assembling the image. I didn't show the textures added to the layers or the gradients, but I think it helps one understand what it took to get there.

Great composite. As said a lot of work, way above my skill level. But then doing what you love is not work, so please, continue to enjoy and educate.

Toast yourself... without the glass, your photo is right there with Ben Heine and other Geo-Artists, or are you beyond with the lemon-garnished drink.

Tutorials are my understanding of UHH's main goal, thank you Jim for reinforcing that goal.

I used a godox flash with a Rouge snoot. I call it a snoot it's just a short round extension without any grid or defuser. Flash was placed above and to the left. I used a black curtain to block reflections from the window to the left falling on the glass. Made this simple rod set up using PVC attaching it to a light stand then placing the curtain over the bar, then you can raise or lower as necessary.

Hope this explains the set up.

It explains it perfectly. Thanks for exposing the behind the scenes information.
