Get Calypso mixture, boozy in the extreme (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

come by

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get' is the definition.
(coming by is a kind of getting)

'calypso mixture boozy in the extreme' is the wordplay.
'calypso mixture' becomes 'come' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in the extreme' means to remove the middle letters (the letters on the extremes of the word are used).
'boozy' with its middle removed is 'by'.
'come'+'by'='COME BY'

Can you help me to learn more?
