Cocktail with twist, and something to eat? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snakebite

'cocktail' is the definition.
(I know that Snakebite is a cocktail)

'twist and something to eat?' is the wordplay.
'twist' becomes 'snake' (snake can mean to twist around).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'something to eat?' becomes 'bite' (a bite to eat).
'snake'+'bite'='SNAKEBITE'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for snakebite that I've seen before include "Drink (dangerous if given by 18!)" , "Cider-lager drink" , "Cider mixed with lager" , "Mixed drink < traitor served with food" , "Cider and lager - it could be poisonous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
