Depending: "let's toast your youth!", etc., 'toast' being the operative verb, used in the sense of 'to drink in honour of a person or thing'.

Here's to X, Please raise your glasses to X, I'd like to propose a toast to X*,... But we don't use the term youth days - just youth (or salad days if you're feeling poetic).

Except in formal surroundings, we don't usually applaud our youthful good behaviour, or how wisely we spent our time, with a drink — rather the opposite: "Let's drink to our mis-spent youth!" despite one's success in life.

@JEL Thanks. If it's an old character in a film saying this to another old character, and asks him to toast in praise of his youth after showing a photo of those days to him, would we say the same?

Go with FumbleFingers. "Here's to" or "raise your glass to". Or just "these were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end".

“To the riotous enjoyment of X.” How to Give a Toast
As in your example:
have a shot (of a drink) in praise of your youth days
I would suggest:
“To the riotous enjoyment of your youth! Or "Let's drink with riotous enjoyment to your youth!" (with glasses raised ... toast ... drink ... then all glasses thrown aside!)
Seriously, one does not have to throw the glass or container!"
Good article on all thing 'toast'! There many examples of toast for all occasions! Just stand up, raise you glass and speak you mind ... carefully.
