Strange drink for a pirate? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum

This clue is a double definition.

'strange' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'drink for a pirate?' is the second definition.
(pirates drink rum)

(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "The spirit is peculiar" , "An odd kind of drink made from molasses" , "Sugar-cane spirit" , "Curious, strange" , "Weird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
