To a woman, it can be intoxicating (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tokay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it can be intoxicating' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'to a woman' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'kay' (**).
'to'+'kay'='TOKAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tokay that I've seen before include "Hungarian sweet wine" , "A wine mentioned in a national anthem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
