Cocktail made by short attractive woman in Italy (7)
I believe the answer is:
bellini
'cocktail' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'woman in italy' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'bell' ().
'italy' becomes 'i'.
'bell'+'in'+'i'='BELLINI'
'made by short attractive' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bellini that I've seen before include "drink" , "Peach juice cocktail" , "Italian composer of operas such as Norma (1831)" , "Cocktail; painter; opera composer" , "Italian opera composer (Norma)" .)
