Kid, torn, resolved to make toast (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drink to

'toast' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'kid torn resolved' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kid'+'torn'='kidtorn'
'kidtorn' with letters rearranged gives 'DRINK TO'.

'to make' acts as a link.

(Another definition for drink to that I've seen is " Toast".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
