Yeah, it's very much possible. Go to your DNS manager, and create an A record for your subdomain pointing to your DigitalOcean droplet's public IP.

For example, to point your subdomain test to your droplet with IP 13.13.13.13, set the following A record.

Type   Name   IPv4 Address
----   ----   ------------
A      test   13.13.13.13
