farewell toast

Goodbye with glasses

A farewell toast is a ceremonial drink raised in honor of someone departing—whether leaving a job, moving away, or embarking on a journey.

The person offering the toast typically says a few words of appreciation or well-wishing before the group drinks together: We raised our glasses for a farewell toast to the retiring director.
