copa, noun
glass

We’ve already come across copa to talk about a glass with a stem, especially a wineglass.

Sólo tomé una copa de vino.
I only had one glass of wine.

From this meaning comes the more general meaning of drink:

Te invito a una copa.
Let me buy you a drink.

It is also used in the set verbal phrase:

tomar una(s) copa(s)
to have a drink

Anoche fuimos a tomar unas copas en el puerto.
