Made off with drink (4)
I believe the answer is:
mead
'drink' is the definition.
(mead is a kind of drink)
'made off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'made' is an anagram of 'MEAD'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for mead that I've seen before include "Honey wine" , "Honey drink; lea" , "Male shop worker" , "Honeyed drink; a lea" , "something to drink" .)
