I just found this on the International Phonetic Association's page of extended IPA symbols for disordered speech: the buccal interdental trill.
  • buccal: pertaining to the cheeks; here, cheeks puffed out
  • interdental: tongue is extended between the teeth
  • trill: articulator is vibrating, as in the Italian "r" or Spanish "rr" (perro "dog" vs. pero "but")
In other words, “blowing a raspberry”.

I've always called the raspberry an interlabial trill (tongue extended between the lips), but hey, if this is what the IPA calls it, I'll drink to that- with a mug of IPA.   :-)
