Party with small jug for friar (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dominican

'friar' is the definition.
(Dominican is an example)

'party with small jug' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'small' becomes 'mini' (short for miniature).
'jug' becomes 'can' (both are containers).
'do'+'mini'+'can'='DOMINICAN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dominican that I've seen before include "See sister" , "- - Republic, West Indies" , "Religious" , "One of many brothers" , "person in the WI" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
