Drink with Joe North (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with joe north' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'joe' becomes 'gi' (GI Joe).
'north' becomes 'n' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north').
'gi' next to 'n' is 'GIN'.

(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "It could be used for drinking" , "Common spirit" , "Trap for snaring small mammals" , "Animal trap or alcoholic drink" , "Trap for catching animals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
