A liqueur mixed in the basin (8)

I believe the answer is:

absinthe

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

'a liqueur' is the definition.
(absinthe is a kind of liqueur)

'mixed in the basin' is the wordplay.
'the basin' can be anagrammed to 'ABSINTHE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for absinthe that I've seen before include "Green liqueur flavoured with wormwood and anise" , "Strong liquour in the basin?" , "Strong green alcoholic drink" , "Aniseed-flavoured liqueur" , "Bathes in strong liquour, strangely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
