Crossword Genius

God lifting couple into drink (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

priapus

'god' is the definition.
(Priapus is an example)

'lifting couple into drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'couple' could be 'pr' and 'pr' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for priapus that I've seen before include "Sex god" , "garden guardian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
