Doctor welcomes music with a drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grappa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink' is the definition.
(type of alcoholic drink)

'doctor welcomes music with a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'music' could be 'rap' (musical genre) and 'rap' is located in the answer.
'doctor' could be 'gp' (general practitioner) and 'gp' is found in the remaining letters.
'a' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grappa that I've seen before include "Brandy from fermented pressed grape residue" , "Italian drink" , "Italian spirit made from grape residue after pressing" , "Italian brandy distilled from grape lees" , "Type of brandy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
