Crossword help

I finished the Guardian crossword on Monday. However I couldn't finish it on Thursday. Does anyone have Friday's paper who could tell me the answers to 4 across and down please?

If anyone wants to do it the hard way, the clues are:

4 across: Tipple offered as Batman finally snared by the Riddler? (7)

4 down: In Bayeux, where threading hole is weaving (7)

The letters I've got so far are:

4 across: --I-T-R
4 down: --N-O-S

I'm about as sure as I can be that those letters are correct.

Apparently in anatomy "sinus" means any cavity in the body (which I didn't know).

Ah, cheers, that makes sense now. I don't like that clue either.

I love clues where when I'm told the answer I go "aha... that's clearly why" or where I can build up the clue from parts even if the answer is a word I don't know. I really don't like clues where I get the answer because it fits the grid and struggle to work backwards -- that's what I had to do with those two.
