Outside church photograph discontented parishioners making alcoholic beverage (8)
I believe the answer is:
schnapps
'alcoholic beverage' is the definition.
(I know that schnapps is a type of alcoholic beverage)
'outside church photograph discontented parishioners' is the wordplay.
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'photograph' becomes 'snap' (synonyms).
'discontented' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the word's contents are removed).
'parishioners' with its middle removed is 'ps'.
'ch' placed inside 'snap' is 'schnap'.
'schnap'+'ps'='SCHNAPPS'
'making' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Various strong spirits drunk in N Europe, consonant heavy" , "Dutch clear alcohol" , "Booze" , "Strong gin-like drink" , "Dutch spirit distilled from potatoes" .)
