Fruit drink without the odd bits of pip (5)
I believe the answer is:
apple
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that apple is a type of fruit)
'drink without the odd bits of pip' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'without' is an insertion indicator ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'the odd bits of' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'pip' are 'pp'.
'ale' enclosing 'pp' is 'APPLE'.
(Other definitions for apple that I've seen before include "Beatles' record label" , "eg Cox, Bramley" , "German fruity dessert" , "award from Paris" , "The - Cart (Shaw)" .)
