The odd drink (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum

I believe this is a double definition.

'the odd' is the first definition.
(rum can mean strange or dubious)

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

(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "Unusual" , "Sugar-cane product" , "Odd sort of spirit used in grog" , "Peculiar like sailor's drink (3)" , "Eerie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Evening Standard and The Sun.
