Lace with gin perhaps. It's divine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angelic

'divine' is the definition.
(like an angel)

'lace with gin perhaps' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'lace' after 'gin' is 'ginlace'.
'ginlace' anagrammed gives 'ANGELIC'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for angelic that I've seen before include "Payment for release" , "Exceptionally innocent" , "in the manner of Gabriel?" , "Extremely well-behaved" , "Saint-like" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
