Islander supplying vessel for underage drinker? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minorcan

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

'islander' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'vessel for underage drinker?' is the wordplay.
'vessel' becomes 'can' (I've seen this before).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'underage drinker?' becomes 'minor' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'can' put after 'minor' is 'MINORCAN'.

'supplying' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for minorcan that I've seen is " on an island".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
