Not in love with pint mixed with cola (8)

I believe the answer is:

platonic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not in love' is the definition.
'Platonic' can be an answer for 'love' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'not in' bit.

'pint mixed with cola' is the wordplay.
'mixed with' indicates an anagram.
'pint' with its letters mixed up with 'cola' makes 'PLATONIC'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for platonic that I've seen before include "Non-physical" , "Chastely intimate" , "(Of love) without sexual desire" , "Latin cop in kind of non-sexual romance" , "not showing any passion)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
