Started off really well, but absolutely stuck on top right...
7d Drink it on 6k runs (9) ----A-I-I
I reckon the plural of runs gives me the I, perhaps, and perhaps 6K is VIK, but to be honest, I don't have any real idea. As ever, help welcome.

Many thanks, Malone. My other putative answers now also make sense.

Would someone please explain how the drink vodkatini is obtained from the rest of the clue.

Also is the answer to clue 10ac: 'Came back to a particular camp and stayed' resided? If so, why? If not, what is the answer? Thanks

Roger, I too this to mean re sided, so going back into one camp or another. I thought it was a bit dodgy, but was unable to think of anything else.

vodkatini: it + on + avid (answer to 6a) + K

Not sure if this has been covered - as usual, so many threads.

Have the answer, but baffled by the wordplay:

12A (2,3) I must embrace great conductor as expected.

I've got "on cue" but cannot parse

All I could think of was...
I = one
great conductor = cu/Copper
embrace = put the 'cu' inside 'one' - on cu e.

This could be wrong, very wrong!

Just came to me.

I = ONE
great conductor (copper) = CU
ON(CU)E
