How are real splash photographs made?

With very short flash duration, often a few ten-thousandths of a second, triggered precisely as the liquid moves. The flash duration rather than the shutter is what freezes the motion, which is why the droplets are so sharp.

What makes a splash look believable?

Surface tension. Real droplets are rounded and slightly elongated in the direction of travel, and a splash forms a crown where it impacts. Splashes made of flat blobs are the most common tell in composited product work.
