'tumbler' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'turn to hold mug and a' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'bat' (bat is a kind of turn).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'hold mug' becomes 'cro' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cro' put after 'a' is 'acro'.
'bat' put after 'acro' is 'ACROBAT'.
