One needs to bring up the animal for a drink (5)
I believe the answer is:
tokay
'for a drink' is the definition.
(Tokay is an example)
'one needs to bring up the animal' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'to' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ky' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tokay that I've seen before include "Hungarian sweet wine" , "A wine mentioned in a national anthem" .)
