Crossword Genius

Do drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonic

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'do' is the first definition.
(musical tonic in the do-re-mi scale)

'drink' is the second definition.
(tonic is a kind of drink)

(Other definitions for tonic that I've seen before include "something invigorating" , "Small drink of spirits" , "Producing tension of muscles" , "__water; gin mixer" , "shot in the arm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
