Crossword Genius

Drink in village restaurant (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lager

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

'in village restaurant' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LAGER' is hidden within 'village restaurant'.

(Other definitions for lager that I've seen before include "Tipple" , "Regal kind of beer" , "Light beer needed" , "Regal sort of beer" , "The drink could be regal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
