Crossword Genius

Daughter gets sheep drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dram

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'daughter gets sheep' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (ram is a kind of sheep).
'd'+'ram'='DRAM'

(Other definitions for dram that I've seen before include "Apothecary's weight, 60 grains" , "A wee spirit" , "Small drink of alcohol" , "Measure of spirits" , "Wee drop of whisky?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
