Booze concocted by dry rancher (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherry brandy

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

'booze' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'concocted by dry rancher' is the wordplay.
'concocted' is an anagram indicator.
'by'+'dry'+'rancher'='bydryrancher'
'bydryrancher' anagrammed gives 'CHERRY BRANDY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cherry brandy that I've seen before include "Fruit liqueur" , "Sweet dark red liqueur" , "Morello-flavoured liqueur" , "Drink" .)
