Crossword Genius

Slug alcoholic drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

punch

This clue is a double definition.

'slug' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'alcoholic drink' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for punch that I've seen before include "Blow with the fist" , "Alcoholic fruit drink" , "that would be attached to haywain for pulling?" , "Slug - mixed drink" , "Wife-beater" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
