Drink with a twitch that's theatrical (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dramatic

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

'theatrical' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drink with a twitch' is the wordplay.
'drink with' becomes 'dram' (small alcoholic drink. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'twitch' becomes 'tic' (tic is a kind of twitch).
'dram'+'a'+'tic'='DRAMATIC'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dramatic that I've seen before include "Sudden and striking" , "Sensational, thrilling" , "Thrilling in effect" , "relating to plays, etc" , "Histrionic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
