On a drinking spree around Lima with a kitchen appliance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blender

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

'a kitchen appliance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'on a drinking spree around lima' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'lima' could be 'l' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'spree' could be 'bender' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bender' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blender that I've seen before include "Good mixer" , "kitchen equipment" , "Liquidising device" , "Kitchen appliance" , "Kitchen machine" .)

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