Game where drink taken after dance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hopscotch

'game' is the definition.
(hopscotch is a kind of game)

'drink taken after dance' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'scotch' (Scotch is an example).
'taken after' says to put letters next to each other.
'dance' becomes 'hop' (hop is a kind of dance).
'scotch' after 'hop' is 'HOPSCOTCH'.

'where' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hopscotch that I've seen before include "child's play" , "Jumping game" , "Playground game" , "kids jump about in it" , "childish amusement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
