Liqueur drained with a cutting parting shot (8)
I believe the answer is:
galliano
'liqueur drained' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a cutting parting shot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gallio' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
