turmoil

'chaos' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'taking a rum concoction into' is the wordplay.
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'concoction' indicates anagramming the letters.
'into' becomes 'toil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rum' with letters rearranged gives 'urm'.
'urm' placed within 'toil' is 'TURMOIL'.

'work results in' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
