nobis eisque qui nostrum similes esse volunt propinemus


Explanation:
Lit., 'Let us drink to ourselves and to those who want to be like us', assuming that this is a toast made over an alcoholic beverage.

'Nostrum' is genitive plural of 'nos' depending upon 'similes'. 'Nobis' for 'nostrum' is also possible in this construction with 'similes'.
