Crossword Genius

Taking off clothes, Richard Osman stirred drink (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maraschino

'drink' is the definition.
(maraschino is a kind of drink)

'taking off clothes richard osman stirred' is the wordplay.
'taking off clothes' means to look at the middle letters (letters which clothe the word are removed).
'stirred' is an anagram indicator.
The middle of 'richard' is 'ichar'.
'ichar'+'osman'='icharosman'
'icharosman' with letters rearranged gives 'MARASCHINO'.

(Another definition for maraschino that I've seen is " Harmonicas (anag) - cherry liqueur".)
