Not completely. Water droplets are formed because of surface tension. The are spherical regardless of gravity (when falling - the spherical shape gets distorded by wind, etc.)
A specific liquid's droplets can only form up to a certain size on Earth before gravity overcomes the surface tension - think of a drop of water forming on a leaking tap. In space it'll grow to the size sphere you want, seeing as the only force in play then is surface tension.
