The shape of the liquid is actually controlled by two forces viz. surface tension and gravitational force. When size of drop is small, 
surface tension force gravitational force,
which means net force is due to surface tension. In this case, is minimum when the surface area is minimum. So, the drop is spherical.

When the size of the drop is larger, 
gravitational force surface tension.
It means net force is due to gravitational force. In this case, gravitational is minimum when centre of gravity of the drop at the minimum. So, the drop is no more spherical.
