The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

A flat graphic still life of three cocktails, a shaker and a folded napkin, drawn as flat shapes with no line work and no shading. The ground is split into two blocks of clashing colour, cobalt blue above and lemon yellow below, and each object casts a hard edged black shadow at an angle that does not quite make sense. Objects simplified to a silhouette plus one or two internal shapes, saturated flat colour throughout.
