Drinks selling in small bottles (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gins

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

'selling in small bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' says the answer is hidden in the clue (bottling is a kind of containing).
'GINS' is hidden in the letters of 'selling in small'.

(Other definitions for gins that I've seen before include "Drinks; traps" , "Alcoholic drinks" , "Sings badly for drinks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
