A drop of drink, right? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

'a drop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drink right?' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a kind of drink).
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'tea'+'r'='TEAR'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Optical sign of sorrow" , "Hurry" , "wrench" , "Shred" , "Small globule of sorrow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
