Lie about honeyed wine being quencher (7)
I believe the answer is:
limeade
'quencher' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'lie about honeyed wine' is the wordplay.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'honeyed wine' becomes 'mead'.
'lie' enclosing 'mead' is 'LIMEADE'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limeade that I've seen before include "Fizzy drink" , "soft drink" , "it's a soft one" , "Citrus drink" , "Fruity drink" .)
