Mineral producing road waste? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
soda water
'mineral' is the definition.
'producing road waste?' is the wordplay.
'producing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'road'+'waste'='roadwaste'
'roadwaste' with letters rearranged gives 'SODA WATER'.
(Other definitions for soda water that I've seen before include "Carbonated drink" , "Fizzy drink" , "Fizzy mixer" , "Possible splash" , "Aerated drink" .)
