Drink coming up with Spooner in the vicinity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearby

'in the vicinity' is the definition.
(synonyms)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for nearby that I've seen before include "In the vicinity" , "Barney (anag)" , "Close at hand, not far away" , "Local" , "somewhere close" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
