Crossword Genius

As cider's drunk, making cocktails (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sidecars

'cocktails' is the definition.
(I know this)

'as cider's drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'ciders'='asciders'
'asciders' with letters rearranged gives 'SIDECARS'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sidecars that I've seen before include "They're attached to motorbikes to carry passengers" , "cocktails" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
