Garnish: A garnish is usually a sublime addition that only a few palates will detect, but that every eye will miss if it's forgotten. The garnish shows your guests that you've thought of every detail. Never make your garnishes showy or overpowering. They should have a subtle presence, calmly floating atop a drink or lurking at the bottom, soaking up the last bits of alcohol before pleasing the taste buds.
Dash: A dash equals 1/6 of a teaspoon or 5 ml. Practically speaking, a dash is one vigorous shake, or two mild shakes of a bottle with a shaker top.
Dry: Dry is a term used to describe wines and other spirited beverages that aren’t sweet. Often times, when describing wines, the term sec is used.
Splash: A splash is very nearly a dash. It's as little as you can pour out of a regular liquor bottle.
