Tell me what you think! Check out a previous image I made using this idea, linked below in the comments.

Photo Recipe
Place a wine glass of water and bottle as shown. The lens axis should be centered to the glass and the bottle should have the edge centered to the glass. Separate the pieces enough when looking through the glass the refraction fills half the glass as shown. Use a white or other simple background. For this shot I used a very dark green opaque bottle.

Place strobes next to the subjects, fired off ceiling. I used a 430and 580 Canon strobe, fired using Canon ST-E2 wireless trigger. The shot was made with no room lights on, as they created specular highlights that were undesirable. I manually focused on the edge of the glass rim, to the right, using live-view mode.

For this shot I used manual exposure, and set the flash output higher until I was just about to blow out any large areas. If I exposed to high, the edge of the glass at the top left would disappear.
