Booze is trap (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

This clue is a double definition.

'booze' is the first definition.
(gin is a kind of booze)

'is trap' is the second definition.
(gin trap is a kind of animal trap)

(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "A short" , "Juniper-flavoured drink" , "Trap for catching animals" , "Alcohol made with juniper berries" , "Spirit; cotton machine" .)
