'badly-behaved girl' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'empty dope into coffee' is the wordplay.
'empty' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'coffee' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'dope' with its middle removed is 'de'.
'de' inserted into 'latte' is 'LADETTE'.
