Kevin Schulz of Bridge Bar in Chicago tried a sour ale, vermouth, and Coke cocktail in LA that led him to create The Coked-Up Monk, his own "flip" on the concept, with the addition of an egg white fizz and whiskey.

If you can't find Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale, you can substitute another Flemish sour; you may need to adjust the sweetness of the cocktail slightly.

If your cocktail coupes are small, divide between two glasses.
