Drink that's small within reach (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shandy

'drink' is the definition.
(I know that shandy is a type of drink)

'small within reach' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'within reach' becomes 'handy' (I've seen this in another clue).
's'+'handy'='SHANDY'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shandy that I've seen before include "Beer/lemonade mixture" , "Beer and lemonade mixture" , "Weakly-alcoholic drink" , "Drink of ale and lemonade 96)" , "Beer-lemonade mix" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
