Gimlet liquor (3)
I believe the answer is:
gin
'gimlet liquor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "Juniper-flavoured drink" , "Trap for catching animals" , "Machine for separating cotton from its seeds" , "Spirit, aka 'Mother's ruin'" , "Alcohol made with juniper berries" .)
