Drinks to sip, perhaps, outside the theatre (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pints

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

'sip perhaps outside the theatre' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the theatre' becomes 'NT' (National Theatre).
'sip' is an anagram of 'pis'.
'pis' placed around 'nt' is 'PINTS'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for pints that I've seen is " Drinks".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
