Odd sort of horse that is made to drink (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum punch

'to drink' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'odd sort of horse that is' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'odd' could be 'rum' (rum can mean strange or dubious) and 'rum' is found in the answer.
'horse' could be 'punch' (type of horse) and 'punch' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'made' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rum punch that I've seen before include "old party special?" , "potential cause of merriment" .)
