Cocktail, tiny amount, sure to lift Welshwoman (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

white russian

'cocktail' is the definition.
(I know that White Russian is a cocktail)

'tiny amount sure to lift welshwoman' is the wordplay.
'tiny amount' becomes 'whit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to lift' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters lift up).
'welshwoman' becomes 'sian' (common Welsh name).
'sure' reversed gives 'erus'.
'whit'+'erus'+'sian'='WHITE RUSSIAN'

(Another definition for white russian that I've seen is " Cocktail".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
