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

'alcoholic cocktail' is the definition.
'pina colada' can be an answer for 'cocktail' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'alcoholic' bit.

'stick a soft drink by attorney's' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'pin' (synonyms).
'soft drink' becomes 'cola' (cola is a kind of soft drink).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'attorney' becomes 'DA' (District Attorney).
'pin'+'a'+'cola'+'da'='PINA COLADA'
