Gentlemen, a toast

This is the traditional phrase - or alternatively, 'Gentlemen, please join me in a toast (to ...)'.

or "Gentlemen, let's drink a toast".

Yes, glad you noticed that! I had just noticed it myself, so what I suggest now is:
"Gentlemen, let's drink to that!"

I hope it fits with what goes before. It's difficult to judge without seeing the preceding words, but "Gentlemen, let's drink to (all) that!" would be a sort of generic summing-up.

It may also be worth considering phrases beginning with "Here's to" (typical words for a toast).
"Gentlemen, here's to..."
as in "here's to you / to the future / to our future" etc.
Note from asker:
It's what he says in the end of his toast.
