Stimulating drink (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

coffee

bracer

(Other definitions for bracer that I've seen before include "Strengthening drink" , "Wrist guard used in archery -- shot of Dutch courage" , "strong drink" , "Alcoholic pick-me-up" , "stiff drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
