This is a spectacular shot! :) The rich tones and perfect balance of highlights and shadows really makes this one pop. The way that you lit the bottle and ice is awesome. :D

The lighting seems a tiiiiny bit unbalanced (eg there could be a bit more distinction on the bottle cap) (or maybe things look a bit unbalanced because of the slight asymmetry of the photo?), and the reflections in the bottom right of the image are a little distracting. However.... besides these very minor things, I think this image is perfect (and I can't bring myself to mark you down for any of these things!!)

This would work perfectly if the left part of the branch (?) was in focus or less blurry. I almost see it that way, but just almost. Still a very nice catch and edit.
