'this one?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'bambi largely recollected keeping close to fizzy drink' is the wordplay.
'largely' means to remove the last letter.
'recollected' is an anagram indicator.
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside.
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
'drink' becomes 'cha' (cha can mean tea).
The final letter of 'fizzy' is 'y'.
'bambi' with its final letter taken off is 'bamb'.
'bamb' with letters rearranged gives 'babm'.
'y'+'cha'='ycha'
'babm' going around 'ycha' is 'BABYCHAM'.
