Drink in time involving small amount of liquid? Just the reverse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mineral

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in time involving small amount of liquid? just the reverse' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'time' could be 'era' (era is a kind of time) and 'era' is present in the answer.
'amount' could be 'ml' (ml is a kind of amount) and 'ml' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for mineral that I've seen before include "Ore; soft drink" , "Zinc or magnesium, say" , "Gypsum or magnesium, say" , "Made from inorganic matter" , "Mined substance" .)
