Appropriate, small amount of alcohol bloke stirred in pot (2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
to the point
'appropriate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'small amount of alcohol bloke stirred in pot' is the wordplay.
'small amount of alcohol' becomes 'tot' (small amount of an alcoholic drink).
'bloke' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'stirred' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'pot'='inpot'
'inpot' anagrammed gives 'point'.
'tot'+'he'+'point'='TO THE POINT'
(Other definitions for to the point that I've seen before include "Where promontory's visitors are going" , "Apposite" , "Appropriate" , "How sword tapers" , "Precise" .)
