Drink from cans, hugging cool male, oddly drunk (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
tom collins
'drink' is the definition.
(Tom Collins is an example)
'cans hugging cool male oddly drunk' is the wordplay.
'cans' becomes 'tins' ('tin' can be a synonym of 'can').
'hugging' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
The alternating letters of 'male' are 'ml'.
'cool'+'ml'='coolml'
'coolml' is an anagram of 'omcoll'.
'tins' placed around 'omcoll' is 'TOM COLLINS'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for tom collins that I've seen before include "Gin makes this" , "Gin-based cocktail" , "Cocktail using gin" , "Long iced drink of gin, lemon juice and soda water" .)
