Cheers: English coming in for drink (3)
I believe the answer is:
tea
'drink' is the definition.
(tea is a drink)
'cheers english coming in' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can informally mean thank you).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'coming in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ta' placed around 'e' is 'TEA'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Afternoon meal (3)" , "This towel is for drying dishes" , "Provide a meal" , "Perhaps Indian" , "Brew" .)
