British bridge partners avoid forgoing latest US drink (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brewski

'us drink' is the definition.
(informal US term for a beer)

'british bridge partners avoid forgoing latest' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br'.
'bridge partners' becomes 'EW' (East and West are partners in the card game bridge).
'avoid' becomes 'skip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'forgoing latest' means to remove the last letter (the last or latest letter is removed).
'skip' with its final letter taken off is 'ski'.
'br'+'ew'+'ski'='BREWSKI'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
