Thanks :)
Is that... an eyeball floating around in there? :P At a first glance this seemed like the most delicious cocktail ever but at a second glance I'm just not sure anymore...
Love the color though. The form. The everything with this. So good.

The light refraction on the straw is a really nice technical touch.
Great colors, solid look. I appreciate your choice in background color, and splotching it to give it a bit more visual interest. I think the fact that it is largely unnoticed by most folks is to your credit. Also, I like the border. It's subtle but really helps the image pop.
Some points I'm not sure on (I suspect they're non-issues as I'm not certain of the facts and you've clearly put thought into this), the reflections in the glass seems a bit flat. The angling is consistent and I'm not sure it really expresses the curvature of the glass. Maybe tapering it to the left near the top might help? Or maybe the glass really reflects that way, I'm not sure. Also, I can see the bottom of the glass, but why does the color extend below it? Light is a tricky thing I'm not a master of, so it seems feasible this would happen, but my brain finds it strange.
Last thing, and this is more of a personal quirk, but the ice cube in the middle reminds me of an eyeball for some reason. It's silly, but it does.
Anyways, marvelous piece. You done real good. Looks delicious.

First of all, thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated. As for the points you mentioned, I did use a photo reference like with most of my food related pixel arts so I was trying to approximate the lighting conditions which I now realize don't translate well in pixel art. The ice cube and other small things do looks strange because I was once again trying to stay fateful to the reference. I do think they look odd and I think that for future food themed pieces, I'll try to detach myself from copying the reference too much so that I can work even more freely, with that being said, thanks for the feedback and kind words, always nice to see :)
Now I’m thirsty
looks cool, amazing art
