Charlie given drink preferred muffin (7)
I believe the answer is:
crumpet
'muffin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'charlie given drink preferred' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'drink' becomes 'rum' (rum is a kind of drink).
'preferred' becomes 'pet' (synonyms).
'c'+'rum'+'pet'='CRUMPET'
(Other definitions for crumpet that I've seen before include "Griddle cake" , "Thick soft porous cake - attractive person" , "Something eaten toasted and buttered" , "Thick flat cake, eaten toasted" , "Toasted teacake" .)
