Girl making Indian drink with last of ice (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lassie

'girl' is the definition.
(lassie is a kind of girl)

'indian drink with last of ice' is the wordplay.
'indian drink' becomes 'lassi' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'last of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'ice' is 'e'.
'lassi'+'e'='LASSIE'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for lassie that I've seen before include "Collie featuring in many films" , "Canine film star" , "Movie role for several dog stars" , "Scots girl - film dog" , "Hollywood film-star dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
