Drink gets acting don in trouble (3,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin and tonic

'drink' is the definition.
(gin and tonic is a kind of drink)

'acting don in trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'acting'+'don'+'in'='actingdonin'
'actingdonin' is an anagram of 'GIN AND TONIC'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Another definition for gin and tonic that I've seen is " Common cocktail".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
