(Before we leave), let's have one for the road

Explanation:
Just that, short and simple. After all, "one for the road" in itself suggests that you are going somewhere - unless you are going to bed, when "nightcap" would be better. This means that "before we leave" is a redundancy. If you must put it, I would invert the sentence, as shown here: "Before we leave, let's have one for the road".

Don't take too much notice of this answer - I'm just testing to see if the dialect button does anything.

As I suspected, it doesn't. I tried to mark this answer as British English using the dialect button, but without susccess.
