Drink from bootlegging era legitimised (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ginger ale

'drink' is the definition.
(ginger ale is a kind of drink)

'from bootlegging era legitimised' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GINGER ALE' is hidden within 'bootlegging era legitimised'.

(Other definitions for ginger ale that I've seen before include "It won't make you drunk!" , "Spicy, sweetened non-alcoholic drink" , "pop" , "Fizzy drink" , "One drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
