This is my submission for the first day of the May Photo Challenge. The theme this week is "beverage". This particular beverage is about two fingers of Woodford Reserve Bourbon and a little ice. Very tasty.

With regard to the photo, I turned up the blacks and contrast in Lightroom. I also put in some heavy vignetting and a added some noise to the photo. It all just seemed to work for this shot.

I was all fired up to do some off camera flash work for this shot but found out that my battery died. Now I need to go out and buy a new 3V lithium for the trigger.
