water spray. not too much or a little. just spray and wipe until you're satisfied with the look

oh, i must not have made myself clear, sorry :S
i meant that i have to draw / paint it, hehe, my bad. :D

but thanks anyway, it might help if i photograph it first, then i have something a little more real to work from :)

Step one: Find a photo of a bottle with water drops on it. (A real one would be even better.) Step two: Draw it. Step three: Get a lot wiser. Step four: Make your image.

If you're doing it traditionally there's no helping it - it will take a while. You'll have to draw every drop, have that slight refraction, the shadow, and the highlight. Else it's pretty much the same as what it's on. I'd suggest choosing a medium where you can add the drop details later, like acrylic or something. You can try work it with watercolour if you use pencil over that (dont know how good that would look though).
Digitally... well, same thing, but it goes quicker with layers.

Break it down. Look at the drops. Where the bottle is lit, the drops are roughly the same color as the liquid inside the bottle but they have a curved, dark shadow and in some cases a small highlight. In the shadow regions of the bottle the light amber color of the drops really stand out against the dark and they lack highlights.

It may help for you to paint the bottle and then add shadows and lights accordingly. You don't have to painstakingly paint every little drop, just made wise decisions on where to place your brushstrokes. Oh and it may help to not paint every drop on condensation you see. Just paint enough for it to look refreshing.

Coke used one standard bottle illustration for almost all of their ads in the 50s (example here), it's THE iconic Coke bottle image. Whatever you do, this is what people will be thinking of, so pay close attention to how things are handled in it.
