A clear glass filled with a two-layered drink sits on a black slate coaster placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is pale yellow with thin round slices of orange immersed in it, showing vibrant orange colors. The top layer is a translucent pinkish-red with bubbles rising through it, topped with ice cubes. The glass rim is coated with a layer of coarse salt, and a fresh lime wedge leans on the rim. A purple straw is inserted inside the glass, and blurry halves of lime and orange fruits are scattered in the background with purple and pink bokeh lights. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
