Drink rum in outskirts of Torquay (5)
I believe the answer is:
toddy
'drink' is the definition.
(toddy is a type of drink)
'rum in outskirts of torquay' is the wordplay.
'rum' becomes 'odd' (rum can mean strange or dubious).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outskirts of' means to remove the middle letters (only letters on the outskirts).
'torquay' with its middle removed is 'ty'.
'odd' placed into 'ty' is 'TODDY'.
(Other definitions for toddy that I've seen before include "Alcoholic beverage" , "Hot drink of spirits with sugar and spices" , "Spirits with hot water, sugar and spices" , "Palm tree sap" , "sugared drink" .)
