round of drinks
Noun: A round of drinks is a single serving of a beverage, typically alcoholic, purchased for and served to each member of a social group at one time. The purchase is often made by one person, with the expectation that others in the group will take turns buying subsequent rounds.
This term is primarily used in social settings, such as pubs, bars, or parties. It implies a shared, reciprocal social custom. The word "round" is the core noun; "of drinks" specifies the type of round. - It is customary for one person to buy a round of drinks for their friends. - After he bought the first round of drinks, it was her turn to get the next one. - They had a quick round of drinks before heading to the concert.

- Round (noun): Can be used informally on its own in the same context.
- "Whose turn is it to buy the next round?"
- Drinks (noun): The beverages themselves. The phrase "round of drinks" combines these two concepts.
