Drink: case of daiquiri in shade of pink (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cordial

'drink' is the definition.
(cordial is a kind of drink)

'case of daiquiri in shade of pink' is the wordplay.
'case of' suggests removing the centre (outsides of).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'shade of pink' becomes 'coral' (I've seen this before).
'daiquiri' with its centre removed is 'di'.
'di' inserted inside 'coral' is 'CORDIAL'.

(Other definitions for cordial that I've seen before include "Hearty - drink" , "drink with a fruity flavour" , "7 [HEARTY]" , "Friendly; fruit drink" , "Pleasant - soft drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
