Catch linked to name on aperitif (8)
I believe the answer is:
dubonnet
'aperitif' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'catch linked to name on' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'net' (netting is a kind of catching).
'linked to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'name' becomes 'dub'.
'dub'+'on'='dubon'
'net' after 'dubon' is 'DUBONNET'.
(Another definition for dubonnet that I've seen is " Tub on end (anag) - aperitif".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
