Taste first drops of Stella Artois, making Peroni look elegant (6)
I believe the answer is:
sample
'taste' is the definition.
(sample can mean to taste or try)
'drops of stella artois making peroni look elegant' is the wordplay.
'drops of' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'drop of' mean this).
The first letters of 'stella artois making peroni look elegant' is 'SAMPLE'.
'first' is the link.
(Other definitions for sample that I've seen before include "Small part representing the whole" , "Specimen; sound clip" , "Take" , "Drop of" , "Specimen, try out" .)
