Meeting female over drink (5)

I believe the answer is:

emily

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

'meeting female' is the definition.
'emily' can be an answer for 'female'. I'm not certain of the 'meeting' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emily that I've seen before include "Woman" , "A Bronte sister" , "- - Bronte, author" , "-- Dickinson, US poet" , "Girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
