Short temper? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spirit

I believe this is a double definition.

'short' is the first definition.
(small drink of spirits)

'temper?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for spirit that I've seen before include "enthusiasm" , "Strong distilled alcohol" , "Vital force - apparition" , "The sort of drink" , "Life-force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
