Description

This photograph by Skyler Burt captures an old fashioned cocktail served in a decorative etched glass. The cocktail features an amber-colored liquid garnished with a citrus peel and a crumb topping, resting on a dark tray. Cinnamon sticks lie on the base next to the glass. A clear glass cloche sits over the drink, trapping a layer of ambient smoke swirling inside. The background is softly out of focus, highlighting the drink as the central hero element of the composition.
