How to make a good photoshoot of a product (a milkshake) on a budget?


Okay so here's the thing. My friend is selling milkshakes, and he wants to do a photoshoot of his products in the style of Apple (white background and white reflective bottom), but from what I understand the photographer who shoots the Apple products uses a very intricate and elaborate setup of lights to achieve this style. Now, he's just starting out his business, and I'm currently on a tight budget as well, so I was wondering if anyone knows the best and cheapest way to achieve this look, or at least a very similar look to this.

We have considered using solid white acrylic tiles as the base to place the milkshakes, using a combination of a small LED light that we've managed to acquire, and iPhone flashlights as the lighting, and possibly use Photoshop to create a reflection of the milkshake, but if there are any better ways we can use to achieve this look, we're open to hear suggestions. Thanks!
