You might be interested in drool:

drool
1 : saliva trickling from the mouth
// wipe the drool from his chin
(M-W)

It's uncountable, so notice the difference in the example:

There was drool dangling from her chin.

Globule is a fun word for this:

a tiny globe or ball especially of a liquid—MW

Example in use (from a gross story):

The man looks into the camera and smiles before releasing the globule of spit from his mouth, not once but TWICE.—Daily Mirror
