old fashioned
From another era
Old fashioned describes something characteristic of an earlier time, now out of style or superseded: old fashioned manners, an old fashioned notion of courtship.
The term can be dismissive or affectionate depending on context—outdated technology is merely obsolete, but old fashioned values may suggest admirable traditionalism.
An old fashioned is also a cocktail of whiskey, bitters, sugar, and citrus peel.
