'given' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'a drink like silk?' is the wordplay.
'a drink' becomes 'water' (water is an example).
'like silk?' becomes 'ed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'water'+'ed'='WATERED'
