Lower the transparency of the drop layer so that you can see through it a bit. Then, Edit>Free Transform to scale and place it where you like it. In this case, I had to paste the image in twice to cover the entire bottle. Then create a layer mask so that the drops outside the bottle disappear. To do this, control click the bottle layer. This will select the bottle. Then, with drop layer selected, click the layer mask icon.

Then, try a few different layer styles to see what looks the most realistic. I used Vivid Light, based on my source photo. Then I reduced the opacity to about 50%.Here is the result of the the masks and adjustments.
