I would probably try and avoid using terms auch as splash and dash in your 
recipes. To me a splash might be your dash, or vice versa. Also, depending on 
how much your splash & dash's are, there seems to be a lot of alcohol in it.

Personally i think its lacking a little too much creme de cacao. The gins 
botanicals would be pretty full on and over powering to the small amounts of 
cacao and orange liqueurs. As previsouly asked, why both liqueurs?
