I believe the answer is:

anorak

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

'that'll keep her warm on a cold night' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a woman gets cocktail' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'woman' becomes 'ora'.
'gets cocktail' becomes 'k' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an'+'ora'+'k'='ANORAK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anorak that I've seen before include "Jacket; nerd (colloq.)" , "geek" , "Dull person" , "Jacket for an obsessive?" , "Garment; studious person" .)
