A drink and a kiss, nominally (4)
I believe the answer is:
alex
'a drink and a kiss nominally' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a drink and a kiss' is the wordplay.
'a drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'a kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'ale'+'x'='ALEX'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for alex that I've seen is " Sandy".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
