incognito

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

'flying under the radar' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'mix gin and tonic and love' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'gin' after 'tonic' is 'tonicgin'.
'tonicgin' anagrammed gives 'incognit'.
'incognit'+'o'='INCOGNITO'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
