I hear you say but food photography is the same category as photographing drinks? Well not really. You need to thing about different things.
It's important that the whole looks nice and fresh. You do this by playing with light, ice cubes, water droplets and fresh accessories, such as flowers and fruit etc. Keep in mind: FRESH.
Where in food photography a certain background and plate depends on the color of the dishes you photograph to ensure that the food pops out of the photo, this is often not the case when photographing a drink. When you work with a dish, it often contains different colors. However, a drink often only consists of one color. That's why it's useful to add some color to the photo. Throw a piece of fruit in your colorless drink, use a straw, pay attention to the background, etc.
As with food photography, it is useful to make use of your surroundings. With drinks should you stay indoors or do you need to go to the origins of where it grows. Think about beer do you need to go to a hop field? Also there is quite a difference in glasses that you can use glasses with such a beautiful relief are very hip and every drink seems delicious in them. Normal long drinks won't cut it. That's why I separate this cause it's an art itself.
