I believe the answer is:

inhale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what clinton wouldn't do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'cool and hot drink' is the wordplay.
'cool' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable or cool).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'in'+'h'+'ale'='INHALE'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inhale that I've seen before include "Whiff" , "Draw in air or smoke" , "Draw breath" , "take the air" , "Breathe in (gas, smoke)" .)
