Drink boost (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonic

This clue is a double definition.

'drink' is the first definition.
(tonic is a kind of drink)

'boost' is the second definition.
(tonic can mean a stimulant or booster)

(Other definitions for tonic that I've seen before include "Gin mixer - pick-me-up" , "Key" , "Keynote of a scale" , "fizz" , "Invigorating liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
