bellini

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

This might be a double definition.

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

'composer of opera' is the second definition.
'bellini' can be an answer for 'composer' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'of opera' bit.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bellini that I've seen before include "He made a lot of notes" , "drink" , "scorer" , "Cocktail; painter; opera composer" , "Italian opera composer (Norma)" .)
