Mean to distil my gin (5)
I believe the answer is:
mingy
'mean' is the definition.
(I know that mean can be written as mingy)
'distil my gin' is the wordplay.
'my gin' can be anagrammed to 'MINGY'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for mingy that I've seen is " Tight-fisted".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
