Going crazy with new measure of drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noggin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink' is the definition.
(drink measurement, typically a quarter of a pint)

'going crazy with new measure' is the wordplay.
'crazy' indicates an anagram.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'new measure' becomes 'n' (N is an example. I am not sure about the 'new' bit.**).
'going' anagrammed gives 'oggin'.
'oggin' going around 'n' is 'NOGGIN'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
