Peaty gin mixed for Cleopatra say (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egyptian

'cleopatra say' is the definition.
(Cleopatra was Egyptian)

'peaty gin mixed' is the wordplay.
'mixed' is an anagram indicator.
'peaty'+'gin'='peatygin'
'peatygin' with letters rearranged gives 'EGYPTIAN'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Arabic" , "One from Cairo" , "Native of the land of the Pharaohs" , "Pharaoh's nationality?" , "From North African country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
