Drink cures heart-break (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chartreuse

'drink' is the definition.
(Chartreuse is an example)

'cures heart-break' is the wordplay.
'break' is an anagram indicator.
'cures'+'heart'='curesheart'
'curesheart' with letters rearranged gives 'CHARTREUSE'.

(Other definitions for chartreuse that I've seen before include "The spirit" , "Pale green-yellow colour" , "Carthusian liqueur" , "green liquid" , "Green-yellow liqueur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
