This classic cocktail number is all you need for a touch of sparkle and refreshment this hot Glasgow summer.

This fizzy cocktail was first invented in Venice in the 1930s and was named after the Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. The combination of peaches and bubbles makes the Bellini almost acceptable as a breakfast tipple.
