Crossword Genius

Master has drink with singer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teacher

'master' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drink with singer' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a drink).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'singer' becomes 'cher' (Cher is a US musician).
'tea'+'cher'='TEACHER'

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for teacher that I've seen before include "Pedagogue" , "The race (anag.)" , "School educator" , "Schoolmaster" , "The trainer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
