Drinks spilt: PE ruined! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tipples

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

'spilt pe ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'spilt'+'pe'='spiltpe'
'spiltpe' with letters rearranged gives 'TIPPLES'.

(Other definitions for tipples that I've seen before include "Drinks alcohol regularly" , "Drinks moderately" , "Is in the habit of drinking alcohol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
