Alcoholic drinks, quite new, last endlessly (8)

I believe the answer is:

tequilas

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

'alcoholic drinks' is the definition.
'tequilas' can be an answer for 'drinks' (tequila is a kind of drink). I'm not certain of the 'alcoholic' bit.

'quite new last endlessly' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'last' with its last letter taken off is 'las'.
'quite' with letters rearranged gives 'tequi'.
'tequi'+'las'='TEQUILAS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tequilas that I've seen is " Alcoholic drinks made from agave".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
