How to make a toast - 10 top toasts

A toast is a ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honour or goodwill. The term may be applied to the person or thing so honoured, the drink taken, or the verbal expression accompanying the drink. Traditional toasts are short and easy to remember. It's good to have at least one all-purpose toast in your memory bank to use as you raise your glass.
