Drink that went to one’s head once? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nightcap

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'drink' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Late drink ' mean 'nightcap' so perhaps 'drink' could also mean 'nightcap')

'that went to one's head once?' is the second definition.
(old-fashioned headwear worn at night)

(Other definitions for nightcap that I've seen before include "Bedtime beverage" , "Last drink before bed" , "Head covering" , "A drink before sleep" , "late evening beverage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
