Crossword Genius

Bottled spirits and dope given to Latin couple (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genii

'bottled spirits' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dope given to latin couple' is the wordplay.
'dope' becomes 'gen' (both can mean information).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'latin couple' becomes 'II' (two in Roman numerals).
'gen'+'ii'='GENII'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for genii that I've seen before include "Demons with magical powers" , "Personal spirits" , "Arabian spirits" , "jinns" , "Clever people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
