For starters, salud (sah-LOOD) is a simple, typical toast. It basically means “to your health.” However, it is also used when someone sneezes, so you might want to consider saying something a little more original.

A toast! ¡Una brindis! ¡oo-nah breen-dees! Cheers! ¡Salud! ¡sah-lood! Bottoms up! ¡Fondo blanco! ¡fohn-doh blahn-koh!	Cheers! ¡Chin, Chin! ¡cheen, cheen! A toast to your health! ¡A tu salud! ¡ah too sah-lood!

Here’s to you!
¡Que cumplas muchos más!
¡keh koom-plahs moo-chohs mAHs!

Health, prosperity, and love!
¡Salud, dinero y amor!
¡sah-lood, dee-neh-roh ee ah-mohr!

Down the hatch!
¡Arriba, abajo, al centro y p’dentro!
¡ahr-ree-bah, ah-bah-hoh, ahl sehn-troh ee p’dehn-troh!

If you want you can say something such as:

To…
¡Por…
¡pohr…

Let’s toast to…
Brindemos por
brihn-DEH-mohs pohr…

I’d like to propose a toast to…
Me gustaría proponer un brindis por…
meh goo-stah-REE-ah proh-poh-NEHR oon BRIHN-dihs pohr…

Then add something such as:

friendship amistad ah-mee-stahd	the future el futuro ehl foo-TOO-roh
us nosotros mismos noh-soh-trohs mees-mohs	love amor ah-mohr
