drink a toast

At one time a piece of spiced toast would be put in a glass of wine in order to improve the flavour or to collect the sediment. From this the word 'toast' came to be identified with the drink. Equally, the mention of a lady's name to accompany the gesture was supposed to flavour a bumper as spiced toast did a drink. Known by 1700
