Pinches small quantities of spirits (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nips

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pinches' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'small quantities of spirits' is the second definition.
(nip can mean a small amount of alcoholic spirits)

(Other definitions for nips that I've seen before include "Squeezes tightly between the fingers" , "Pinches in a spin" , "Pinches - in the bud?" , "Steals" , "Pinches as crab does" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
