Admirer drunk and shot in dance (8)
I believe the answer is:
fandango
'dance' is the definition.
(fandango is a kind of dance)
'admirer drunk and shot' is the wordplay.
'admirer' becomes 'fan' (fan is a kind of admirer).
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'shot' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'and' with letters rearranged gives 'dan'.
'fan'+'dan'+'go'='FANDANGO'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for fandango that I've seen before include "Dance performed with castanets" , "Old Spanish dance, with castanets" , "Spanish Steps" , "Lively Spanish dance" , "Spanish courtship dance in triple time" .)
