1dn. Chemical sample of a strong drink (short), the first to test (7)- A?I?U?T.
Could you please explain why? I can't find any possible dictionary answers.
Thanks in advance.
Chris

a + liquo(r) + t(est) = aliquot
An aliquot in chemistry is a portion of a total amount of a solution.

Thanks Escher.

But even then I'd still be probably trying to understand.
Thanks Loads
