Noticed that the garden window in the kitchen was perfect for refracting light, I got the glass, vodka, and olive and mixed up a martini. Shot a few, drank the martini. Then went and reshot with water, since the ice cold vodka kept frosting the glass.

I'm thinking you should have lit the background up instead of the glass, and let the light shine through, those reflections are distracting from an otherwise very good refraction. Also having the glass off-center makes me feel lopsided.
Great detail on this shot! The lighting looks a little bit dark to me...perhaps a small bump in brightness might help. Love the sunset in the background!
