Spray last of soda in direction of person who's near (8)
I believe the answer is:
atomiser
'spray' is the definition.
(I know that atomiser can be written as atomiser)
'last of soda in direction of person who's near' is the wordplay.
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'in direction of' becomes 'to' (heading to).
'person who's near' becomes 'miser' (near can mean miserly).
The last letter of 'soda' is 'a'.
'a'+'to'+'miser'='ATOMISER'
(Other definitions for atomiser that I've seen before include "Mister" , "Amortise for spray-creating device" , "Device for making liquid into a fine spray" , "Fine spray producer" , "I, maestro can reduce liquids to a fine spray" .)
