Hello guys!
I do use DigitalOcean too host my sites.

I do create my Droplets like that.

this is done on Ubuntu 17.04

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/apache2
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
# Apache
sudo apt-get -y install apache2

chown www-data: -R /var/www/
sudo a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart

# PHP
sudo apt-get -y install php7.1 php7.1-curl php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-mbstring php7.1-cli php7.1-mysql php7.1-gd php7.1-intl php7.1-xsl php7.1-zip

# Mysql
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server

# Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '669656bab3166a7aff8a7506b8cb2d1c292f042046c5a994c43155c0be6190fa0355160742ab2e1c88d40d5be660b410') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
/sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
/sbin/swapon /var/swap.1

any one do have beta way to create a droplets or suggestion?

Personally I've been using Ansible lately, and it makes many things very easy. But you first need to familiarize yourself with it and find/build needed Roles/Playbooks/etc to make everything nice and smooth. Initial step might take some time (well that's probably true with any new tool..)

There's lots of Ansible Roles available in Ansible Galaxy. Personally I've been using Roles made by geerlingguy + own custom ones (for PPA's, personal settings, etc..)

Alternatives to Ansible could be Chef, Puppet or Salt, but I haven't used any of those.

There's also some online services available, which could do the provisioning for you, like Laravel Forge, Serverpilot or some other service which offers similar features (if you don't mind paying few bucks a month for it).
