Exploits solicitor's drink (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
milk stout
'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'exploits solicitor's' is the wordplay.
'exploits' becomes 'milks' (milking is a kind of exploiting).
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (I've seen this before).
'milks'+'tout'='MILK STOUT'
(Other definitions for milk stout that I've seen before include "drink" , "drunk in pub" , "Porter" .)
