lassi

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

'drink in india' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl gets one' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'lass'+'i'='LASSI'

'cold' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lassi that I've seen before include "Indian dairy drink" , "creamy drink" , "chilled drink" , "that Indian necks?" , "Cold drink" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
