On my way to drink drop of malt - the French blend (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

commingle

'blend' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'on my way to drink drop of malt the french' is the wordplay.
'on my way' becomes 'coming' (you might shout 'coming' when someone calls you).
'to drink' is an insertion indicator.
'drop of' says to take the initial letters.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
The initial letter of 'malt' is 'm'.
'coming' going around 'm' is 'comming'.
'comming'+'le'='COMMINGLE'

(Another definition for commingle that I've seen is " Mix, blend".)
