As a much bigger cocktail nerd than a human should be... you are both correct and still safe. The old fashioneds that have gone MORE than mainstream are all based on the original believed to be from Louisville - and very much popularized in NY, ATL, etc. in the last 10-15 years. (With lost of lovely rifs, such as really wonderful rum and mezcal-based versions...) Your sugar cube doused in bitters, under a decently paired bourbon plus orange peel. The WI Old Fashioned is still a fairly rare find. Most really good craft cocktail bars can make one if you order it, but I haven't seen that recipe make it into any of the main stream yet - despite brandy having a moment a few years ago.

The corn old fashioned at Cava del Tequila is interesting, though ongodly overpriced. Have plenty of other places to send you here in Orlando should you want something interesting... haha
