Alcohol? A tiny taste, about two months back (5)
I believe the answer is:
pimms
'alcohol? a tiny' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'taste about two months back' is the wordplay.
'two months' can mean two substitutions for 'months'.
'taste' becomes 'sip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'months' becomes 'm'.
'months' becomes 'm'.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'm'+'m'='mm'
'sip' enclosing 'mm' is 'smmip'.
'smmip' reversed gives 'PIMMS'.
