Tropical Drink Emoji 🍹
Tropical Drink is a separate codepoint from the cocktail glass: a tall glass with fruit and a straw. Copy it here, find the honest nearest match for the colour searches that have no character at all, and take four tiki recipes as plain text.

🍹 Tropical Drink, U+1F379
A distinct character from Unicode 6.0 in 2010, not a variant of the cocktail glass. Vendors draw a
hurricane or tiki glass, an orange or pink drink, fruit on the rim and a straw or umbrella. The
V-bowl you may be thinking of is a different codepoint, U+1F378, and a different family of drinks.
Vendor art varies more here than anywhere else in the drinks block. Glass shape, liquid colour,
umbrella and fruit are all vendor decisions, so the drink your friend sees may be a different colour
from the one you sent.
Colours that do not have a character
There is no pink, purple or blue drink emoji. Unicode encodes the vessel, not the contents, and
there is no colour modifier for food and drink the way there is for skin tone. The nearest honest
match for each:
| What you want | Closest real character | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pink drink | 🥤 Cup With Straw, U+1F964 | A takeaway cup, red and white on most platforms. Add 🍓 to signal pink. |
| Purple drink | 🍹🫐 Blueberries, U+1FAD0 | No purple beverage exists. The fruit does the colour work. |
| Blue drink | 🍹🧊 Ice Cube, U+1F9CA | Nothing in the set is blue. The ice cube reads coldest. |
| Coconut drink | 🥥 Coconut, U+1F965 | A halved coconut, not a served drink. Pair it with 🍹. |
| Iced drink | 🧊🥤 | Build it. No iced-coffee or iced-soda character exists. |
| Boba or bubble tea | 🧋 Bubble Tea, U+1F9CB | A real dedicated character, Unicode 13.0 in 2020. |
| Juice box | 🧃 Beverage Box, U+1F9C3 | Unicode 12.0, 2019. Carton with a straw in the top. |
| Branded drinks | none | Unicode does not encode trademarks. No chain’s drink has a character. |

Tiki exists because of Repeal – rum was cheap and legally back first, and the bars around it
turned a supply accident into a style. For the V-bowl side see cocktail
emoji and martini emoji; for the soft tall drinks see
juice emoji.
