Bender maybe, with small section on European mixed drink (9)
I believe the answer is:
snakebite
'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bender maybe with small section on european mixed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is present in the answer.
'section' could be 'bit' (both can mean part) and 'bit' is found within the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snakebite that I've seen before include "could prove lethal?" , "Cider mixed with lager" , "Drink made of lager and cider" , "Cider-lager drink" , "It might kill you" .)
