Somewhat mediocre a.m. -- so Dad's getting a drink (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cream soda

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

'somewhat mediocre a m so dad's' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'CREAM SODA' is hidden in the letters of 'mediocre a m so dads'.

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cream soda that I've seen before include "Vanilla-flavoured pop" , "Vanilla-flavoured fizzy drink" , "Carbonated soft drink" , "Sparkling stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
