Crossword Genius

Small amount of drink for youngster (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tot

I believe this is a triple definition!

'small amount' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of' acts as a link.

'drink' is the second definition.
(a small alcoholic drink)

'for youngster' is the third definition.
(tot is a kind of youngster)

(Other definitions for tot that I've seen before include "Small baby" , "Add the little child?" , "Drop" , "Small drink of spirits" , "Get the sum for the child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
