Autumn apple beverage (5)
I believe the answer is:
cider
'autumn apple beverage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cider that I've seen before include "Scrumpy" , "Drink made from fermented apples" , "Alcoholic drink from fermented apple juice" , "Beverage from apple juice" , "Alcoholic drink made from apples" .)
