  -> I think it's a good solution too, Verginia, and perhaps even closer to the meaning of "brindar" in this particular context. Thank you!

toast


Explanation:
toast:

drink to the health or in honor of (someone or something) by raising one's glass together with others.
"happy families toasting each other's health"

Toast is the best option as it maintains the idea of drinking, but other possible translations are: celebrate, praise, acclaim, exalt, honor, salute, commemorate

Example sentence(s):
  • Come to toast the bride.
  • Let's all toast the ladies together!
