1. Drive back: The word "drive" suggests movement or transportation. When we reverse or "drive back" a word, it means we need to read it backward. In this case, we need to reverse the word "rive" to "evir".
2. By river: The phrase "by river" implies that we need to include a word related to a river in our answer. In this clue, the river is represented by the letters "M" and "A" because they are found in the word "MARGARITA".

4. Having a cocktail: The phrase "having a cocktail" is a hint that indicates the specific word we are looking for. In this case, the answer is "MARGARITA" as it is a popular cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec.

Combining all the elements of the clue, we find that "MARGARITA" is the correct answer.
