'Candy is dandy, but ____ is quicker' (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liquor

(Other definitions for liquor that I've seen before include "Any alcoholic drink made from distillation" , "Strong alcoholic drink" , "'Hard' drink" , "Alcoholic drink in general" , "Alcoholic beverage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
