🏠 The photo of the cocktail
- Shoot the glass at eye level, not from above: this preset lives on the transparency of ice and liquid, and that only reads from the side.
- A dark background with a light behind makes the glass glow; a bright bar top with front light kills the drink's colour.
- Clean glass, no fingerprints, ice just placed. In macro, one drip down the glass fills half the screen.
- If the drink has a garnish that identifies it — burnt peel, rosemary sprig, smoke cloche — put it in the photo: that is what the AI will feature.
