Crossword Genius

Strong drink for courage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spirit

This clue is a double definition.

'strong drink' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'courage' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for spirit that I've seen before include "Supernatural entity" , "Scotch, maybe" , "Ghost - pluck" , "Animation or energy" , "25 28 [MARS LANDER]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
