Negroni component (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "Colourless spirit flavoured with juniper berries - mother's ruin" , "Alcohol for the snare" , "Trap for snaring small mammals" , "Spirit, aka 'Mother's ruin'" , "Alcohol made with juniper berries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and the L.A. Times Daily.
