I prefer a great bourbon. The bourbon soaked cherry is the best part.

Not in the ones I drink because my son makes them at home. They're better than most at any restaurant or bar.

Yes.
The cocktail was first defined in 1806, and that definition called for “spirits of any kind”.
In 1833, a notable recipe called for rum, genever or brandy as the spirit base.
It wasn’t until after that when whiskey became a common base for the drink.
Oh, and OP, the name of the cocktail is “Old-Fashioned”.

The first documented definition of the word "cocktail" was in response to a reader's letter asking to define the word in the 6 May 1806, issue of The Balance and Columbian Repository in Hudson, New York. In the 13 May 1806, issue, the paper's editor wrote that it was a potent concoction of spirits, bitters, water, and sugar; it was also referred to at the time as a bittered sling and is essentially the recipe for an old fashioned
I mean. I guess we could all just enjoy wallowing in our ignorance like AlxTgr and just assume that other people are wrong without actually looking into it. That and being too scared to drive overseas certainly is one way to go about life.

I prefer a whiskey forward version, I call it a half arse old fashioned.
~2oz of rye or bourbon
A couple shakes of whatever bitters I have on hand
A luxardo cherry
A couple drops of juice from the cherry jar

This is nearly identical to what I do. I usually do 4 of the Angostura and 2 of the Orange with Bulleit rye.
Sometimes, I’ll macerate some blueberries in maple syrup and use that in substitution for the Luxardo cherry, but I prefer the cherry because I love the flavor that the Luxardo juice brings to the cocktail.

A classic old fashy in the scons. My dad is great at making these.
Word to the wise, if you don’t want this and you’re in Wisconsin, don’t just order an “Old fashioned”.

I make a classic bourbon old fashioned but I prefer chocolate bitters to orange. I feel like the orange overpowered the flavor and does not taste like orange at all.

I saw old fashioned and figured I ought to share what I want when I belly up to the bar for one and ask for one. I understand it’s not what’s considered an “old fashion” in the south.
