Meaning & usage
What does the Tropical Drink emoji mean?
A tall glass with fruit and a straw, the cocktail that means holiday rather than any specific recipe.
Celebratory and off-duty. The umbrella and fruit are what make it leisure; a plain glass would read as an ordinary drink.
How to use 🍹 naturally
Holidays, celebrations and the end of a working week.
Food and drink emoji are most often literal, but they also signal plans, cravings, celebrations and shared routines. Context is especially important when a food has a slang meaning in a particular community.
From standard to slang
The history of 🍹
- 2010
First defined as emoji
According to Unicode’s Emoji Versions data, Tropical Drink was first defined as emoji in Emoji 0.6, dated 2010. That label is retrospective: Unicode applied it later to the early mobile core it inherited from the Japanese carriers.
- Before the keyboard
Its visual roots
A tall glass with a paper umbrella, a straw and a fruit slice. All three garnishes are the point, since the drink itself is drawn as a plain colour.
- Today
How its use evolved
Holidays, celebrations and the end of a working week.
Dates follow Unicode’s official Emoji Versions chart. Versions before Emoji 1.0 are labelled retrospectively. See the history of emoji.

When to use it
Using 🍹 clearly
Holidays, celebrations and the end of a working week. It lands as cocktail emoji or 🍹 meaning when the rest of the message supports that reading, and it is the surrounding words that do the deciding — so in a sensitive, professional or cross-cultural conversation, say the thing outright as well.
Common questions
About the tropical drink emoji
What does 🍹 mean in a text message?
A tall glass with fruit and a straw, the cocktail that means holiday rather than any specific recipe. Celebratory and off-duty. The umbrella and fruit are what make it leisure; a plain glass would read as an ordinary drink.
Is 🍹 always positive?
Not always. Its usual readings are cocktail emoji, 🍹 meaning, tropical drink emoji, and irony or the relationship between the people can flip any of them.
Why does 🍹 look different on another device?
U+1F379 identifies the emoji; the picture is a font, drawn separately by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. Only the artwork changes, never the character.
How do I copy and paste the tropical drink emoji?
Use the copy button at the top of this page. 🍹 is a character, not an image, so it pastes into messages, captions and filenames as ordinary text.
When was the tropical drink emoji introduced?
Unicode’s Emoji Versions data first records 🍹 as emoji in Emoji 0.6, dated 2010. Early emoji version numbers can be retrospective, so this date describes its place in the standardised emoji set rather than the first-ever appearance of the underlying symbol.
