Fruit and soft drinks coming round! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apples

'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soft drinks coming round' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'pp'.
'drinks' becomes 'ales' (I've seen this before).
'coming round' indicates putting letters inside.
'pp' going into 'ales' is 'APPLES'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for apples that I've seen before include "Loud sharp cry" , "PS, leap up for the fruit" , "Crisp fruits" , "Russets, pippins etc" , "Eg, russets, pippins" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
