Rinse the mouth and throat with a liquid (6)

I believe the answer is:

gargle

(Other definitions for gargle that I've seen before include "Rinse throat with liquid without swallowing" , "Wash out the mouth and throat" , "clears the old gorge?" , "Rinse the mouth and throat with mouthwash" , "Wash out one's throat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
