Clink clink! This emoji is the internet’s universal toast—two elegant champagne flutes meeting mid-air to celebrate wins big and small: birthdays, promotions, New Year countdowns, wedding speeches, ship-it Fridays, or just surviving a chaotic Monday. It works as a virtual cheers in group chats, Slack huddles, and Discord raids, often paired with confetti, sparkles, or fireworks for maximum party energy. It can read sincere (“we did it!”), performative (“look at my soft-launch success”), or delightfully ironic (“cheers to our shared bad decisions”). Cross-culturally, it carries the vibe of “cheers/kanpai/prost/skål/salud” without needing subtitles.
On Apple devices, you’ll spot two tall, slender champagne flutes filled with pale golden bubbly, tiny fizz rising, glossy highlights, and silver stems, tilted inward with a little burst where the rims meet—peak Apple gradient drama. It doubles as a flirty nudge (“drinks?”), the brunch squad’s calling card (mimosas at 11 a.m., zero regrets), and a meme-y salute to “champagne problems.” People also use it for nonalcoholic wins—sparkling cider, seltzer, or kombucha counts—because the vibe is celebration, not proof. When used sarcastically, it’s the petty group chat’s favorite: “cheers to toxic situationships and character development.”
