Liquid

Cyberpunk has its own liquid shader(s) such as base\materials\fillable_fluid_vertex.mt. Projecting this material onto a submesh will turn the submesh into a transparent container filled with the liquid you specified. If you flip the container on its head, the fluid will drain to the bottom and fill it up again.

To control the offsets, you need to adjust the vectors FluidBoundingBoxMax and FluidBoundingBoxMin.

It shares various properties (such as IOR, FresnelBias, BlurRadius) with the glass shader.

TintColor	liquid's color as RGB (copy from e.g. mi_neokitsch_fridge_z_emissive.mi).
FillAmount	float, e.g.0.0: Probably works in combination with the bounding box. You'll have to experiment.
FluidBoundingBoxMin FluidBoundingBoxMax	Vectors (X, Y, Z, W) controlling the maximum distance from the container's walls. Each value is a float (decimal) speficying the axis in question - you'll simply have to play around with them (you can ignore W). For a bottle material I've used Max: 0.03, 0.03, 0.155 Min: -0.03, -0.03, 0.09
