A great video tutorial by Rob Grimm on how to shoot a beverage shot. He covers the lighting setup, angle and composition.  Most important is how to make the shot looks real.

According to the video intro, the tip is for the shoot -

It takes more than lighting effects to get beer to look this good. A mixture of water and glycerin is applied to the bottles to create those water droplets. The glycerin thickens the water and prevents the droplets from running. The head on the snifter (that’s a fancy word for cup, folks) takes time to get right. When stirred with a wooden chopstick, the carbonation in the beer explodes, giving Rob control over how large the head of foam is. When the beer has no carbonation left, it is sucked out of the glass with a pump and replaced with fresh beer for another try.

Hope you find this helpful in your next shoot.  Like us for support, thanks.
