How to get rid of that weird sensation in your throat when drinking.

Hello everyone! I’m very new to drinking, and I’ve noticed that whenever I take a sip of liquor, there’s always a burning/bitter aftertaste in my throat and it’s very uncomfortable.

I’ve tried to mix it with other non-alcoholic beverages like juice and soda, but the aftertaste sensation still doesn’t go away.

Is there any advice to give to me so I can get rid of that aftertaste or to make my experience smoother?
