Bit of kebab's in this drink (7)

I believe the answer is:

absinth

'drink' is the definition.
(absinth is a kind of drink)

'bit of kebab's in this' is the wordplay.
'bit of' indicates a hidden word.
'ABSINTH' is hidden in the letters of 'kebabs in this'.

(Other definitions for absinth that I've seen before include "(Originally) a wormwood-based liqueur" , "Aniseed-flavoured liqueur" , "Bitter green liqueur" , "Potent green aniseed-flavoured spirit" , "Potent liqueur, originally made with wormwood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
