English term or phrase: This drink belongs to...
We send tumblers to some of our clients with this phrase in their favorite language...then we put their name in big bold letters on a separate line...so the engraving would read "This drink belongs to John" (or whatever the person's name is)...can anyone fluent in Latin provide "this drink belongs to" in Latin?
