Acrobat who can hold drink (7)
I believe the answer is:
tumbler
'acrobat' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tumbler that I've seen before include "He performs feats" , "Constantly dropping" , "slipper may become this" , "Glass for whisky" , "A large glass" .)
