Red colour finishing off drink (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
ginger tea
'red colour finishing off' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'drink' could be 'tea' (tea is a drink) and 'tea' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ginger' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
