Rooster ends grasshoppers, etc (9)
I believe the answer is:
cocktails
'grasshoppers etc' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'rooster ends' is the wordplay.
'rooster' becomes 'cock' (synonyms).
'ends' becomes 'tails' (tail is a kind of end).
'cock'+'tails'='COCKTAILS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cocktails that I've seen is " Mixed drinks".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
