Yet it makes alcohol (5)
I believe the answer is:
still
'yet' is the definition.
('still' can be a synonym of 'yet')
'it makes alcohol' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sill' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for still that I've seen before include "Even now; not moving" , "Always" , "Motionless, inactive" , "A place to make liquor" , "sort of life" .)
