Alcohol given to graduate for dance (5)
I believe the answer is:
rumba
'dance' is the definition.
(rumba is a kind of dance)
'alcohol given to graduate' is the wordplay.
'alcohol' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of alcohol).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'graduate' becomes 'ba'.
'rum'+'ba'='RUMBA'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for rumba that I've seen before include "One from Cuba" , "Strictly round" , "Dance originating in Cuba" , "Burma (anag)" , "Cuban folk dance" .)
