Two shakes getting you dry? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sec

This clue is a double definition.

'two shakes' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'dry?' is the second definition.
('sec' can be similar in meaning to 'dry')

'getting you' is the link.

(Other definitions for sec that I've seen before include "Dry wine perhaps" , "Mo or min?" , "Dry, like wine" , "very short space of time" , "(Of wines) dry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
