celebratory drink

Victory glass raised

A celebratory drink is an alcoholic beverage consumed to mark a happy occasion—a promotion, a wedding, a victory.

The phrase often implies a single drink rather than an evening of drinking: Let's grab a celebratory drink after the meeting.

Champagne is the archetypal celebratory drink, though any alcohol qualifies.
