Like the over-the-top fruit the drink was made from? (7)
I believe the answer is:
squashy
'drink was made from?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'like the over-the-top fruit' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is present in the answer.
'fruit' could be 'squash' (I've seen this before) and 'squash' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for squashy that I've seen before include "Yielding" , "Like overripe fruit" .)
