Legions ordered to find liqueur (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
sloe gin
'find liqueur' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'legions ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'legions' with letters rearranged gives 'SLOE-GIN'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sloe gin that I've seen before include "tipple" , "Liqueur made with blackthorn fruit" , "Blackthorn-flavoured spirit" , "Blackthorn-fruit flavoured liqueur -- Leo sign (anag)" , "Drink needed" .)
