Daughter gets sheep shot (4)
I believe the answer is:
dram
'shot' is the definition.
(of whisky say)
'daughter gets sheep' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'd'+'ram'='DRAM'
(Other definitions for dram that I've seen before include "Small drink (Scots)" , "Pick-me-up" , "Tot of whisky" , "Nip, snifter" , "Small drink of alcohol" .)
