Cooler judge in garret, shivering (11)
I believe the answer is:
refrigerant
'cooler' is the definition.
'judge in garret shivering' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'ref' (referee).
'shivering' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'garret'='ingarret'
'ingarret' is an anagram of 'rigerant'.
'ref'+'rigerant'='REFRIGERANT'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
