Iced Cafe Brulot Floats With Frozen Yogurt

Manami's Note:

We made this one lazy afternoon, when my bestfriend Judy and I started playing around in the kitchen. The flavor of this dessert is so intense; the portions are relatively small & are diluted with club soda. Use goblets, so that your efforts will shine. Didn't allow for cooling time.
