Obtain dram on vacation enjoying Canadian city (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winnipeg

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

'canadian city' is the definition.
(city in Manitoba, Canada)

'obtain dram on vacation enjoying' is the wordplay.
'obtain' becomes 'win' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dram' becomes 'nip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on vacation' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'enjoying' with its middle taken out is 'eg'.
'win'+'nip'+'eg'='WINNIPEG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for winnipeg that I've seen before include "somewhere in Canada" , "Canadian lake" , "Large lake in Manitoba" , "Capital of Manitoba" , "North American city" .)
