... cried out for drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cider

'drink' is the definition.
(cider is a kind of drink)

'cried out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'cried' is an anagram of 'CIDER'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Beverage from apple juice" , "Alcoholic drink (to be taken with Rosie?)" , "Alcoholic drink from fermented apple juice" , "Alcohol from apples" , "Drink made from fermented apples" .)
