Cheers

Used to toast *for* something specific. You complete it with a noun, like '¡Por la familia!' (To family!) or '¡Por los novios!' (To the newlyweds!).
A classic, longer toast meaning 'Health, money, and love!'. It's very common during celebrations.
Cheers! To a good trip.

A toast to the family. Cheers!
At the birthday party, everyone toasts: Health, money, and love!
¡Salud! is the universal and most common way to say 'cheers' across all of Latin America. It literally means 'health'.
¡Salud! is also the primary expression. ¡Chin chin! is equally common in informal settings, just like in Latin America.
¡Salud! is standard. You might hear a playful addition: '¡Arriba, abajo, al centro y pa' dentro!', which describes the motion of drinking the glass.
Both ¡Salud! and ¡Chin chin! are extremely common. The 'pa' dentro' toast ritual from Mexico is also popular here in party settings.
Saying '¡Aclamaciones!' — 'Aclamaciones' is a literal translation of 'cheers' as in applause or shouts. For toasting with drinks, the correct word is ¡Salud!
Using '¡Felicidades!' for a toast. — '¡Felicidades!' means 'Congratulations!'. You use it for a birthday or an achievement, but not for the act of toasting. The toast itself is '¡Salud!'.
Responding with 'Gracias'. — When someone proposes a toast and says '¡Salud!', the correct response is to raise your glass, repeat '¡Salud!', and then drink. You don't say 'thank you'.
