Cried about a drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cider

'a drink' is the definition.
(cider is a kind of drink)

'cried about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'cried' with letters rearranged gives 'CIDER'.

(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Alcoholic drink made from apples" , "Apple-based beverage" , "Drink made from fermented apples" , "Alcohol from apples" , "Pear drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
