Kay's evening drink? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cocktail

This could be a double definition.

'kay's' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'evening drink?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for cocktail that I've seen before include "Possibly old-fashioned" , "snowball?" , "Mixed beverage" , "Harvey Wallbanger, for example" , "Manhattan, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
