Talk and drink - it's a hit (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rabbit punch

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

'talk' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'drink it's a hit' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'rabbit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'it's a hit' becomes 'punch' (I've seen this before).
'rabbit'+'punch'='RABBIT-PUNCH'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rabbit punch that I've seen before include "Blow to back of neck" , "hit" , "What causes a pain in the neck" , "It may knock you out" , "Sharp chop to the back of the neck" .)
