Potent green aniseed-flavoured spirit (7)
I believe the answer is:
absinth
'potent green aniseed-flavoured spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for absinth that I've seen before include "Shrubby plant" , "Bitter green liqueur" , "Potent liqueur, originally made with wormwood" , "Aniseed-flavoured liqueur" , "Potent green aniseed-flavoured spirit" .)
