Just some water with food colouring and a drop of milk. Thanks for the complement.

Cool pictures! I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of doing a quick-n-dirty tweaking to one of them. I thought the excess water droplets took away from the main splash, so I cloned them out and bumped up the blues a little bit.

I like #2. The red photos are not my favorite. I do like the edited picture by pepperoni

It's so simple that it's almost embarrassing.

I put a breadboard over the sink in the kitchen, (wife was not happy with the mess last time.) then put a wide wine glass on top. fill it with water. Add a bit of food coloring, use a dropper to drop a drop of milk. I just make sure the focus is on the center of the glass. Put one hand on the camera and hold the dropper with the other.

It will take a few shots to get your timing right. but it really is not that hard.

Fabulous! I haven't done any of these in quite a long time - now you have me wanting to do it again. :D

#1 is definitely my favorite - I don't think I've ever seen quite that effect before. It's very cool. I do want to clone out that wee blue highlight in the background though. ;)
