Nathan strong colours and thoughtful composition.
However  , I believe you need to make sure that the stem of the glass is vertical. In this case its the glass that needs to be squared up not the tables edge.
Personally there needs to be a little more separation between the drink and its origin the fruit
I would think that getting lower down in perspective so that the table, despite the beautiful wood grain, doesn't dominate the scene and perhaps experimented with depth of field to just highlight the main subject and throw out of focus elements of the table so that it becomes complimentary to rather than competing with the main subject 
Just some ideas. Hope its helpful
cheers marco
thanks marco. that is all very helpful! i will make sure i remember all those ideas for next time.
thanks again. Nathan

Top effort and Marco's comments are right on the button.

Looks yum, and some great suggestions have already been made, it might be hard to get, but I reckon a mango or tropical leaf would make a lovely "table cloth" for the drink or for the mango...
I'd also suggest playing with different lighting for the shot, you can get a lot of variability within your shots.
