Hi Jorge

A few tips that may help.

Try editing the material to the 'thick glass' preset and change the transparency to 90% in the main tab. This will distort the straw as it enters the lemonade.

Then add some texture to the lemonade material - i used 'rubble' and 'marbled' you will have to play about with the bump scale and strength to get the effect you want. A couple of quick examples attached.

Hope this helps.

  Thanks for the help! I'll try and play with it a bit more. I just can't seem to get the lemonade look like lemonade. It seems either too transparent or too cloudy. I've had a bit of success with ice tea but it seems not dark enough then.
