Enjoy weird set providing drink (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digestif

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

'drink' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'enjoy weird set providing' is the wordplay.
'enjoy' becomes 'dig' (to dig can mean to appreciate or 'get').
'weird' indicates anagramming the letters.
'providing' becomes 'if' (eg 'providing it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'set' is an anagram of 'est'.
'dig'+'est'+'if'='DIGESTIF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for digestif that I've seen before include "Liqueur" , "Drink taken with meal" , "postprandial drink" , "Drink aiding the stomach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
