Easily carried drink given to expert (8)
I believe the answer is:
portable
'easily carried' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drink given to expert' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'port' (port is a kind of drink).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'expert' becomes 'able' (able can mean expert or talented).
'port'+'able'='PORTABLE'
(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "Handy - lightweight" , "Light enough to carry" , "easy to bear?" , "Laptop, for example" , "Designed to be easily carried" .)
