Drink provided with soft meat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rump

'meat' is the definition.
(rump is a kind of meat)

'drink provided with soft' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink).
'provided with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'rum'+'p'='RUMP'

(Other definitions for rump that I've seen before include "The buttocks or hind-quarters" , "Depleted legislators" , "Cut of meat from the rear" , "Mammal's hind part" , "Hind part; small remnant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
