King fires cooks making drinks (6)

I believe the answer is:
kefirs
'drinks' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'king fires cooks' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'K' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'cooks' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fires' with letters rearranged gives 'efirs'.
'k'+'efirs'='KEFIRS'
'making' acts as a link.
