Applejack base (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cider
'applejack base' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Scrumpy" , "Alcoholic drink from fermented apple juice" , "Apple-based drink" , "Alcoholic drink made from apples" , "Alcoholic drink (to be taken with Rosie?)" .)
