Crossword Genius

Invents ideal drink (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dreams up

'invents' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ideal drink' is the wordplay.
'ideal' becomes 'dream' (I've seen this in another clue).
'drink' becomes 'sup' (to sup is to drink).
'dream'+'sup'='DREAMS UP'
