Made awful beverage (4)
I believe the answer is:
mead
'beverage' is the definition.
(mead is a kind of beverage)
'made awful' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates an anagram.
'made' anagrammed gives 'MEAD'.
(Other definitions for mead that I've seen before include "Honey drink; lea" , "Cornish drink" , "Alcoholic drink of fermented honey and water of old" , "Male shop worker" , "Old honey-based drink for dame" .)
