A drink for that damned woman? (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bloody mary

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a drink' is the definition.
(Bloody Mary is an example)

'that damned woman?' is the wordplay.
'that damned' becomes 'bloody' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'woman?' becomes 'Mary' (woman's name).
'bloody'+'mary'='BLOODY MARY'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bloody mary that I've seen before include "The Red Queen" , "it could be an eye-opener" , "Tomato juice and vodka" , "killing Queen?" , "something to drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
