Why are Rainbows Circular?

I know that Rainbows are circular, but that is just observable. When I researched rainbows, I learned that they are created from light refracted from raindrops; however aren't raindrops "drop" shaped, with a point at the top, which is caused by drag. Wouldn't that create a rainbow that looks more like a McDonald's Arch?
