I guess this https://stackoverflow.com/a/7235199/8204715 will help you.

The main idea is to get a drop-down menu as a WebElement and then work with it as with separate item.

I don't know what you actually want but you can use drop down like this:

Select sampleDropDown= new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("value")));
        sampleDropDown.selectByVisibleText("Values");  //using visible text
        sampleDropDown.selectByIndex(1); //using Index

You can get full example here
