Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Mixed communication about a relative missing you for the gods.

Mixed - jumbled letters

communication - phone = Pheon

about - surrounding another word

a relative missing you - aunt = ant

for the gods - Pantheon (a temple in which all the gods were worshipped).

Maybe part of the clue is a little misleading...

 

The answer is a drink.
