Excellent drink — get round in (4-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slap-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'excellent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drink get round in' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'lap' (to lap is to drink up).
'get round' becomes 'sup' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'lap' put within 'sup' is 'SLAP-UP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slap-up that I've seen before include "With no expense spared" , "Very good, meal say" , "Lavish, meal say" , "Luxurious (feast)" , "Lavish (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
