Spicy American drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

julep

(Other definitions for julep that I've seen before include "Mint drink in America" , "Cocktail of bourbon, sugar and mint over crushed ice" , "See 21 Down" , "Sweet drink, often medicated" , "(Minted) drink made with bourbon, sugar and crushed ice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
