I think most packages have the option of making bitmaps transparent/
translucent.  If you can do this, then you have to wrap the bitmap around
the half of the glass you can see, to prevent getting the density too far
out.  Or maybe you can create the different shade between the edge of the
glass and the centre on the bitmap.  Can't think of a workable solution to
getting the top of the liquid right.

This is a bit (a lot) of a kludge.  However if you only need to do it once
or twice...
