Pursue right to have beer after spirits (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chaser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'have beer after spirits' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'pursue right' is the wordplay.
'pursue' becomes 'chase' (chasing is a kind of pursuing).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'chase'+'r'='CHASER'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chaser that I've seen before include "Beer after whisky - follow that!" , "Follow-up drink" , "Yellow-Dog Dingo?" , "Racehorse - search (anag)" , "Drink that follows immediately after another one" .)
