Hi Maurie, I think it's LICORICE

Sound of alcohol = LICOR (Liquor) + ICE

Glad to help, Maurie.

Those 'homophone' type clues can often be the cause for heated debate, given the variety of accents, but this one seems pretty uncontentious.

Same here Rossim but i think the use of "with" in the clue is separating the 'ice' from the homophone aspect of the clue.
