Crossword Genius

A drink for the hunter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chaser

This clue is a double definition.

'a drink' is the first definition.
(as in a shot and chaser)

'the hunter' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for chaser that I've seen before include "One who pursues - one drink after another" , "Racehorse - search (anag)" , "Beer after whisky - follow that!" , "Racing horse" , "different drink to follow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
