Recline to consume honeyed drink or fizzy one (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limeade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fizzy one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'recline to consume honeyed drink' is the wordplay.
'recline' becomes 'lie' (I've seen this before).
'to consume' is an insertion indicator.
'honeyed drink' becomes 'mead' (I've seen this before).
'lie' placed around 'mead' is 'LIMEADE'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limeade that I've seen before include "Fizzy drink" , "Non-alcoholic beverage" , "it's a soft one" , "Citrus drink" , "soft drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
