Crossword Genius

Drinking glass for stranger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rummer

This clue is a double definition.

'drinking glass' is the first definition.
(rummer is a kind of drinking glass)

'stranger' is the second definition.
('rum' can be a synonym of 'strange')

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for rummer that I've seen before include "Comparatively quaint" , "Stemmed drinking glass" , "Stranger" , "drinking-vessel" , "glass in the bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
