Gimlet need (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

'gimlet need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "Animal trap or alcoholic drink" , "Alcoholic drink made from juniper berries - it's a trap" , "It could be used for drinking" , "game of cards" , "A short" .)

I've seen this clue in The A.V Club and the LA Times.
