Like the over-the-top fruit the drink was made from? (7)
I believe the answer is:
squashy
'drink was made from?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'like the over-the-top fruit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is located in the answer.
'fruit' could be 'squash' (I've seen this before) and 'squash' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for squashy that I've seen before include "Yielding" , "Like overripe fruit" .)
