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

'alcoholic drink' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'mother surprisingly uncorked bottles' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'mother' could be 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum) and 'ma' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'uncorked' is 'rundcoke' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' acts as a link.
