Adorable grenadine cocktail (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endearing

'adorable' is the definition.
('endearing' can be a synonym of 'adorable')

'grenadine cocktail' is the wordplay.
'cocktail' indicates anagramming the letters.
'grenadine' anagrammed gives 'ENDEARING'.

(Other definitions for endearing that I've seen before include "Engaging" , "Charming" , "Disarming" , "delightful" , "Inspiring affection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
