Cocktail mode was an old format of arcade machine where the display was on a table-top, giving you somewhere to place your drink while you played.

On the Cocktail Mode Podcast, Andy and Dave choose a retro videogame, discuss it at length, and then try and choose a cocktail that in some way goes along with it.

I accidently made this with Crème de Mure rather than Cassis and it was still rather good - Vermouth was a touch bold for me but nothing that couldn't be adjusted on subsequent drinks - and may have been due to my homemade liquer
I chose it to pair with the ultimate 'Parisian' video game; the classic point and click 'Broken Sword' on Episode 4 of the Cocktail Mode Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_76uvYjzTIw

I assume the 'strange music' referenced is the Bomb the Bass track of the same name?
My co-host Dave took it that way when he chose this to pair with Chase HQ when that was our game-to-find-cocktails-for in an early episode of the Cocktail Mode Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy53FNkYvMk).
Unfortunately neither of us have actually tried it as we don't have a drop of Falernum Liqueur between us - so I'd love to know if anyone has a suggestion for an alternative to that ingredient.

Had to adjust this for sweetness -
60ml Vodka
15ml Southern Comfort
30ml Lemon Juice
10ml 1/1 Sugar Syrup
Much improved, for my tastes at least

While 'aged' is a bit grandiose, I did acquire some whiskey barrel pieces and let them sit in the finished batch for a couple of weeks which totally changed the colour and enriched the flavour.
This is the first cocktail I've made with it. My Crème de Frais is also homemade so I don't know how close to the original this tastes, but I can tell you it's delicious!
