Peaty gin mixed for Cleopatra say (8)
I believe the answer is:
egyptian
'cleopatra say' is the definition.
(Cleopatra was Egyptian)
'peaty gin mixed' is the wordplay.
'mixed' is an anagram indicator.
'peaty'+'gin'='peatygin'
'peatygin' with letters rearranged gives 'EGYPTIAN'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Arabic" , "One from Cairo" , "Native of the land of the Pharaohs" , "Pharaoh's nationality?" , "From North African country" .)
