Saccharine aspirations communicated late in the evening (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
sweet dreams
'communicated late in the evening' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'saccharine aspirations' is the wordplay.
'saccharine' becomes 'sweet' (similar in meaning).
'aspirations' becomes 'dreams' ('dream' can be a synonym of 'aspiration').
'sweet'+'dreams'='SWEET DREAMS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
