Neal, hot, ordered alcohol (7)
I believe the answer is:
ethanol
'alcohol' is the definition.
(I know that alcohol can be written as ethanol)
'neal hot ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'neal'+'hot'='nealhot'
'nealhot' with letters rearranged gives 'ETHANOL'.
(Other definitions for ethanol that I've seen before include "Ethyl alcohol" , "Intoxicant in wine, spirits, etc" , "porter uses it" , "Alcohol in wine, beer" , "constituent for a dram?" .)
