She makes a teetotaller cry out! (5)
I believe the answer is:
hetty
'she' is the definition.
'a teetotaller cry out' is the wordplay.
'a teetotaller' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation).
'cry' becomes 'hey' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'tt' going inside 'hey' is 'HETTY'.
'makes' acts as a link.
