Drinks for parties, if stirred (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aperitifs

'drinks' is the definition.
(aperitif is a kind of drink)

'parties if stirred' is the wordplay.
'stirred' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parties'+'if'='partiesif'
'partiesif' anagrammed gives 'APERITIFS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aperitifs that I've seen before include "Pre-dinner drinks" , "Starters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
