Open a drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ajar

'open' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'a drink' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'jar' (colloquial).
'a'+'jar'='AJAR'

(Other definitions for ajar that I've seen before include "Partially open" , "Partly open" , "Fractionally open" , "Not quite shut" , "Open by a chink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
