Strong drink from Spain with pretty wrapping papers (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'strong drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'spain with pretty wrapping papers' is the wordplay.
'spain' becomes 'e' (abbreviation for Espana).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pretty' becomes 'so'.
'wrapping' is an insertion indicator.
'papers' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'so' going around 'press' is 'spresso'.
'e'+'spresso'='ESPRESSO'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Kind of shot" , "Coffee (S, not X)" , "Strong coffee made with steam machine" , "Coffee-making machine" , "Strong black coffee" .)
