The easiest way to create a <select> is, indeed, to use the classic <select> with the attribute data-tapestry="dropdown-select". It will be transformed into a custom select with the Tapestry look & feel.
The data-label attribute will display a custom value. You can also use an <option> to create a placeholder.

<select name="" data-tapestry="dropdown-select">
  <option value="">Choose a foobar option</option>
  <option value="foo" selected>foo</option>
  <option value="bar" data-label="Foo Label">bar</option>
  <option value="baz">baz</option>
</select>

In the other hand, if the classic <select> does not suit you, if you need to create complexe dropdowns, you can use the following code, it uses the same options, the only thing you will need to do is add an HTML element with the following class .Dropdown-value.

<div class="Dropdown" data-tapestry="dropdown-select">
  <input name="" value="bar" hidden>
  <button type="button" class="Dropdown-toggle Dropdown-selectInput" aria-controls="dropdownSelectExample" aria-expanded="false">
    <span class="Dropdown-value"></span>
  </button>
  <ul id="dropdownSelectExample" class="Dropdown-list">
    <li class="Dropdown-item" data-value="">
      Simple label 1
    </li>
    <li class="Dropdown-item" data-value="bar" aria-selected="true">
      Simple label 2
    </li>
    <li class="Dropdown-item" data-value="baz" data-label="Custom label 3">
      Simple label 3
    </li>
    <li class="Dropdown-item" data-value="foobar" aria-disabled="true">
      Disabled label
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>
