Lace with gin in a way that's divine! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angelic

'divine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lace with gin in a way' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'in a way' is an anagram indicator.
'lace' put after 'gin' is 'ginlace'.
'ginlace' with letters rearranged gives 'ANGELIC'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for angelic that I've seen before include "Like heavenly beings" , "Heavenly - entrancing" , "Saint-like" , "Very well behaved" , "Seraphic, cherubic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
