Crossword Genius

Made to mix a drink (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mead

'a drink' is the definition.
(mead is a kind of drink)

'made to mix' is the wordplay.
'to mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'made' is an anagram of 'MEAD'.

(Other definitions for mead that I've seen before include "Cornish drink" , "Old honey-based drink for dame" , "The poetic field" , "Alcoholic drink made with honey" , "sweet drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
