Alluding to soldiers getting into gin cocktail (10)
I believe the answer is:
mentioning
'alluding to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'soldiers getting into gin cocktail' is the wordplay.
'soldiers' becomes 'men' (men can mean a group of soldiers).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cocktail' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into'+'gin'='intogin'
'intogin' is an anagram of 'tioning'.
'men'+'tioning'='MENTIONING'
