Church worker in Ireland chilled drink (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

ice beer

'chilled drink' is the definition.
(cold beer)

'church worker in ireland' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'worker' becomes 'bee' (a worker bee).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ireland' becomes 'ir' (abbreviation for Ireland).
'ce'+'bee'='cebee'
'cebee' placed into 'ir' is 'ICE BEER'.

(Another definition for ice beer that I've seen is " strong drink".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
