Current drink daughter gets regularly obtains awards (9)
I believe the answer is:
accolades
'awards' is the definition.
('accolade' can be a synonym of 'award')
'current drink daughter gets regularly' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'drink' becomes 'cola' (cola is a type of drink).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'gets' are 'es'.
'ac'+'cola'+'d'+'es'='ACCOLADES'
'obtains' acts as a link.
(Another definition for accolades that I've seen is " Expressions of great praise".)
