Drink with some girls and a motherless man (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

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

'drink' is the definition.
(gin is an alcoholic drink)

'some girls and a motherless man' is the wordplay.
'some' says to take the initial letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a motherless man' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The initial letter of 'girls' is 'g'.
'g'+'in'='GIN'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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