raise a glass
Honor with drink
To raise a glass is to lift a drink in honor of someone or something—a toast.
The gesture typically accompanies words of tribute, celebration, or remembrance: Let's raise a glass to the happy couple.
You can raise a glass to the living or the dead, to achievements or to hopes: We raised a glass to absent friends.
