After the drink, figure on going back with her (6)
I believe the answer is:
alexis
'her' is the definition.
'after the drink figure on going back' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'figure on' becomes 'six' (six is a number. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'going back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'six' in reverse letter order is 'xis'.
'ale'+'xis' is 'ALEXIS'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alexis that I've seen before include "man or woman" , "Lia's ex has another name" .)
