Maybe, i should just "google it", but i'll ask here. hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

i'm in my 50's and have only started drinking in the last couple years. grew up in a non-drinking family and i've only found this to be of any interest now that my kids are older and my career is winding down.

so ... i make a margareta and a basic amaretto sour ... and that's about it. i'd like to expand my repertoire, but i don't know where to start. i'm not a 'bar person', so i don't have anyone to make drinks for me. so, i'm asking here ...

i have no interest in getting drunk or in strong drinks. i've tried, but not enjoyed, whiskey, martini, etc. maybe my taste buds will 'grow up' eventually? :)

i like the above mentioned margareta and amaretto sour because they are a bit sweet, they are over ice, and i can sip one for an hour or two while i read or work.

any suggestions?

Tequila and pineapple juice is good for someone who doesn’t like booze much. Add some grenadine for a cool swirling effect and some flavor, which is called a tequila sunrise. I like the “ Irish ale” cocktail a lot . It’s whiskey, ginger beer (not ginger ale) and lime wedges. There and thousands of other drinks you can make. Maybe search for common cocktails to see what suits your taste. You can always scale back the liquor to make it more palatable if you don’t like the taste of booze
