I'm relatively new to Illustrator and I've been trying all possible tutorials and techniques but I can't figure out the best approach to achieve this effect, any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    If your just after a reasonable vector facsimile of the look, try converting a gradient to a mesh using the "object>expand", ungroup and delete the mask, then use the Warp Tool to create the drip effect.
