Reel up with some drinks (4)
I believe the answer is:
nips
'some drinks' is the definition.
(miniature drink bottles)
'reel up' is the wordplay.
'reel' becomes 'spin' (synonyms).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'spin' backwards is 'NIPS'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nips that I've seen before include "Squeezes tightly between the fingers" , "Steals" , "little drinks" , "Tots" , "Pinches - shots" .)
