Ragamuffin, am into alcoholic spirit (5)
I believe the answer is:
gamin
'ragamuffin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'am into alcoholic spirit' is the wordplay.
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'alcoholic spirit' becomes 'gin' (I've seen this before).
'am' going inside 'gin' is 'GAMIN'.
(Other definitions for gamin that I've seen before include "Waif" , "stray" , "Little devil" , "Little urchin" , "Ragged child" .)
