Popular drink of spirits to arrange promptly in USA (2,5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in short order

'promptly in usa' is the definition.
(US term meaning immediately)

'popular drink of spirits to arrange' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'drink of spirits' becomes 'short'.
'to arrange' becomes 'order' (ordering is a kind of arranging).
'in'+'short'+'order'='IN SHORT ORDER'

(Another definition for in short order that I've seen is " Promptly (US)".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
