We've come to it...the end of Twilight July. For our closing chapter Claire brings a fanfic written before the release of the Twilight movie, she's also brought an alternate ship: Alice and Bella.

-

Pairing: A popular drink from the time Alice was alive...a Jack Rose. Mix together 3/4 oz lemon juice, 2 oz apple brandy (or whiskey if you're Claire...don't do this. Shell out for the brandy), 3/4 oz grenadine (preferably homemade, which Claire has...as a part of Twilight July)
