Strange drink (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum

This clue is a double definition.

'strange' is the first definition.
('rum' can be a synonym of 'strange')

'drink' is the second definition.
(rum is a kind of drink)

(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "Bizarre" , "Spirit (in the punch?)" , "Odd sort of spirit used in grog" , "Queer" , "tipple" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
