Drink given to second journalist being taunted (6)
I believe the answer is:
teased
'being taunted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'drink given to second journalist' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'tea' (tea is a drink).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'tea'+'s'+'ed'='TEASED'
(Other definitions for teased that I've seen before include "Taunted playfully" , "Sedate (anag.)" , "Baited or bantered" , "Tantalised or annoyed goodnaturedly" , "Subjected to banter" .)
