drizzlings

Gentle rain fallings

Drizzlings are small amounts that fall or are applied in a thin stream.

The word usually appears in culinary contexts—drizzlings of olive oil, honey, or sauce added as finishing touches to a dish.

The salad was topped with drizzlings of balsamic vinegar.

The singular drizzling works the same way but is more common.
