A phrase used before drinking a toast.
Meaning adapted from Wiktionary, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
“Here's to your new job and your future success.”
“Everyone raised their glasses as the host said, here's to a wonderful year ahead for all of us.”
“As the celebration reached its peak, he stood up to offer a final toast, saying, here's to the friends who have supported us through every challenge.”
The expression is a shortening of "Here is a toast to," reduced for brevity when one's arm is already occupied with the lifting of a glass. It preserves the adverb Here as the functional anchor of the salutation.
