15a When conversing , Philip is a fine mixer(5) ?O?I?
looks like TONIC??

The theme is "use gin" to replace a thematic word
"fine " could be the word to replace ??

When conversing - sounds like - Fillip , a tonic or boost

Scarlett, this clue was mentioned on the earlier, longer thread. I can't remember the details, but I do know that 'fine' is a French brandy. Didn't the theme involve taking/moving the alcoholic drinks?

Thanks Malone ...it was the philip/fillip bit i didn't see... i had already seen "fine" as the alcohol to remove

Sorry, Scarlett - and I'd thought that 'sounds like' bit was so obvious I didn't mention it! I was struggling to remember the theme, 'use gin' etc.
