Drink to the Queen? Great! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

super

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

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

'drink to the queen?' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'supe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to the queen?' becomes 'r' (r is abbreviation regina. e.g. in ER ).
'supe'+'r'='SUPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for super that I've seen before include "Excellent; police officer" , "Extremely good" , "Informally terrific, splendid" , "Prefix meaning over-excellent!" , "Informally great, really up there" .)
