Didn't go through my mind above: Coffee Don Juan - (in dim room - this is 80% show) Take a Chardonnay glass, moisten rim and dip in sugar. Rotate glass(es) over flame (sterno). Sugar will harden and glass will get hot. Add shot of rum and swirl heating rum. After several seconds return rim of glass to flame. The glass should develop a very beautiful blue flame - raise to shoulder height and continue to swirl until flame dies out. Set on saucer, add coffee, top with whipping cream, twirl napkin and wrap around base of glass ribbon style - present.
