amicable

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

'drop of blackcurrant cordial' is the definition.
'amicable' can be an answer for 'cordial' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'drop of blackcurrant' bit.

'before noon gets one cold beer' is the wordplay.
'before noon' becomes 'am' (as in AM on a clock).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'cold beer' becomes 'cable' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'am'+'i'+'cable'='AMICABLE'

'containing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amicable that I've seen before include "friendliness" , "Male cab I change to, just to be friendly" , "Friendly, peaceful" , "Friendly, unthreatening" , "not hostile" .)
