Drunkenly wield menu collecting large drink (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mulled wine

'drink' is the definition.
(type of drink)

'drunkenly wield menu collecting large' is the wordplay.
'drunkenly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'collecting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'wield'+'menu'='wieldmenu'
'wieldmenu' is an anagram of 'muledwine'.
'muledwine' enclosing 'l' is 'MULLED WINE'.

(Other definitions for mulled wine that I've seen before include "warmed drink" , "Warming alcoholic drink with sugar and spices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
