Is it possible for a planet to have a liquid ring?

Is it possible for a planet to have a liquid ring rather than a ring made of solid particles?

If it is, how long would it be stable for? If not, is there any other configuration of a liquid that could form a ring such as droplets or a mist etc? Else what happens to liquids in orbit (especially liquids with a high boiling point at low temperatures which will only evaporate very slowly).

Assume any configuration of planet and ring and the liquid does not have to be water. Any materials and conditions may be used, but no magic.
