Crossword Genius

Thus get attorney beverage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soda

'beverage' is the definition.
(soda is a kind of beverage)

'thus get attorney' is the wordplay.
'thus' becomes 'so' (synonyms).
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'attorney' becomes 'D.A.' (District Attorney).
'so'+'da'='SODA'

(Other definitions for soda that I've seen before include "Accompaniment to whisky" , "Variety of pop" , "Splash served with some spirits" , "Fizzy drink - chemical compound" , "for use with whisky?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
