Game spirit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gin

I believe this is a double definition.

'game' is the first definition.
(gin is a kind of game)

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

(Other definitions for gin that I've seen before include "Trap; mother's ruin" , "Clear alcoholic drink" , "Common spirit" , "Juniper-flavoured spirit" , "Liquor flavoured with juniper berries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
