I believe the answer is:

eye-opener

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'surprise' is the first definition.
(eye opener is a kind of surprise)

'drink in the morning' is the second definition.
'eye opener' can be an answer for 'drink' (eye opener is a kind of drink). I'm not sure about the 'in the morning' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye-opener that I've seen before include "A startling enlightenment!" , "Surprise revelation" , "Surprising fact - like wake up call" , "This surprises greatly - makes you look" , "Circumstances that brings surprise and enlightenment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
