Crossword Genius

Spirit from the bottle? (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dutch courage

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'spirit' is the first definition.
(Dutch courage is an example)

'the bottle?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dutch courage that I've seen before include "Bottle of drink?" , "Drunken swagger" , "Drunken bravado" , "Bravery induced by alcohol" , "Bottle (resulting from bottle?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
