Tidy way to serve whisky? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neat

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'way to serve whisky?' is the second definition.
(whisky served without a mixer is 'neat')

(Other definitions for neat that I've seen before include "Steers" , "cow maybe" , "Clean and orderly" , "Tidy and spruce" , "Trim - undiluted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
