Make young in spirit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brandy

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

'spirit' is the definition.
(alcoholic spirit)

'make young' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'make' could be 'brand' (synonyms) and 'brand' is found within the answer.
'young' could be 'y' and 'y' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brandy that I've seen before include "Utensil or shop" , "How to get a drink" , "Liquor distilled from wine" , "Alcoholic drink" , "Cognac is a well-known one" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
