Final amount of Gewurztraminer drained, along with some spirits, by a Liberal (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
grand total
'final amount' is the definition.
'grand total' can be an answer for 'amount' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'final' bit.
'gewurztraminer drained along with some spirits by a liberal' is the wordplay.
'drained' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'along with' becomes 'and' (I've seen this in another clue).
'some spirits by' becomes 'tot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'gewurztraminer' with its centre removed is 'gr'.
'gr'+'and'+'tot'+'a'+'l'='GRAND TOTAL'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grand total that I've seen before include "Gold tartan - sum of all sums" , "Final result" , "sum, finally" , "Overall sum" .)
