Cocktail skier (8)
I believe the answer is:
highball
This clue might be a double definition.
'cocktail' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'skier' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for highball that I've seen before include "Spirit and soda in tall glass - lob (8);" , "Cocktail served in a tall glass" , "Mixed alcoholic drink; go fast" , "Whisky and soda with ice" , "speed?" .)
