Sees press officer carrying drink (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sees press officer carrying' is the wordplay.
'carrying' indicates a hidden word.
'ESPRESSO' is hidden in the letters of 'sees press officer'.
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "that's stimulating" , "Coffee made by forcing steam through grounds" , "Italian-style coffee" , "strong drink" , "Drinks machine" .)
