Kid drinks last in bottle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'kid' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'drinks last in bottle' is the wordplay.
'drinks' becomes 'teas' (tea is a kind of drink).
'last in' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'bottle' is 'e'.
'teas'+'e'='TEASE'

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Taunt or bait" , "Irritate playfully" , "Tantalize" , "Poke fun at" , "Deride" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
