Comments on the clue
1.I'm with the old school – 'perhaps' isn't a valid anagram indicator though 'possibly' is. Bon idee but Nul points
2.Nice try at an & lit. I think a better anagram indicator could have been found, and 'for starters' rather spoils the surface.
3.Putting "malt" in a cocktail? Sacrilege!
