The cocktail-averse I know all seem to like:
Margarita
Paloma
Pineapple, whiskey and lime
Mojito
You do not need to enjoy cocktails, there is plenty of other food and drink to build a palate, but if you want to learn to like the spirits and liqueurs in them, fizzy water is a way - I find whiskey & tequila in particular too strong to be able to taste and enjoy them, and most liqueurs way too sweet, but one shot in a glass of Topo Chico or other good fizzy water to dilute them? That lets me actually taste what people enjoy about them. Which then lets me think about what I might like them mixed with.
And I would like to plug !cocktails@lemmy.world we can make recommendations based on what you already like.
Yeah, I think fruity Tiki drinks and such are more my speed. I was also reading a thing the other day that mentioned a drink called a "lawn dart" that sounded interesting, although the Chartreuse in it is apparently difficult to get.
