drink

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be nice and cool' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'many an icy place' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'd'.
'an icy place' becomes 'rink' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd'+'rink'='DRINK'

'can' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
