Everything in the picture is rocks.
Backdrop - rock sand
Cola - darker rock sand
ice - rocks
glass - ground rocks (well I suppose these days it might actually be some kind of elastic polycarbonite or something...)
Thanks for the comments. I do enjoy playing around here and trying out different things. Sometimes the concepts work out much more clear in my head than they do in the final image!
Since I really wanted to get the "pouring action" in this shot, I made a sort of "coke bottle marionette". I attached a fising line to the neck of the bottle and another to the "waist". The other ends I attached to two ends of a short length of PVC pipe.
This allowed me to control the bottle and the angle of the bottle with one hand, while I snapped the picture wth the other hand.
this is a great concept, I would've loved to have seen it from a lower angle. Even with a cheesy fake beachy sky backdrop. Put the cam on a tripod and compose accordingly.
