Beverage ingeniously made (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mead

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

'ingeniously made' is the wordplay.
'ingeniously' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'made' with letters rearranged gives 'MEAD'.

(Other definitions for mead that I've seen before include "Cooked joint" , "Male shop worker" , "something to drink" , "Honey wine" , "Drink made of fermented honey and water" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
