After a lot of experimenting, I put the glass up to the window and it totally transformed the photo. The only problem was choosing 1 from about 5 good shoots.

I was pleased with the way this turned out. I placed a table on the window sill, with another table on top of that, then I placed the glass at the edge of the top table and set the tripod at shoulder height on the ground. I think the angle of the camera to glass is what gave it the mirrored effect in the glass and liquid. I was also lucky, as the sky was clouded, with no blue areas. The sun was just lighting up the edges which is what gives this a nice illuminated look.
