Use the keywords "open" and "hollow" so that I can reach into the screen and
taste it?

Implement rlr - real life raytracing?

Great job ...
With pleasure, for your SDL code !

Maybe a few bubbles to bring more life to liquid ?
And usually glass stands are made from cardboard,
here it is more like of plastic.

Yes, the texture/material of the cardboard is not right.

Numerous attempts have been made, but none have been very satisfactory.
I am open to suggestions on this matter.

agree with BE, it does look very "inviting" :-).  I think the wood is quite
dark, and a "sun-bleached" version would set off the drink better.

This looks really good. I think adding a small rounded bevel to the top of the
liquid will give it a more realistic surface tension effect.
