Brandy measure has bite (3)
I believe the answer is:
nip
This could be a double definition.
'brandy measure' is the first definition.
'nip' can be an answer for 'measure' (nip is a kind of measure). I'm not certain of the 'brandy' bit.
'bite' is the second definition.
(I know that nip is a type of bite)
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nip that I've seen before include "(Give) a small sharp bite" , "Dram of spirits" , "severe cold" , "small amount to drink" , "In the air, it feels cold" .)
