Any adventurous 21st birthday drink recommendations for someone like me whose default drink is almost always a stout or a gin and tonic

I’ll be turning 21 this coming winter, and will probably end up going to a bar with family/friends I suppose, but I honestly don’t really drink a lot, and when I do, I rarely, if ever, try anything new. I know these sound like odd drinks for an early 20’s something to like. Neither of my parents even like gin and tonics, and they both see it as kind of being an old man’s drink to be honest lol.

I don’t even mind drinking gin neat, so I’ve always assumed I’d come to like a nice martini, but for some reason, I’ve never found the mixture of gin and vermouth rather palatable, even when I once asked for a bunch of extra olive brine in hopes of maybe making the vermouth taste more appealing.

When it comes to beer, I’ve begrudgingly drank tons of shitty macrolagers and a handful of IPAs with friends, though at the end of the day, I personally mainly just stick with a simple Irish dry stout like Guinness or Murphy’s, so if anyone has any suggestions on that front, I’d appreciate. I’ve tried a couple of craft oatmeal stouts but they weren’t great. I once tried the renowned Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, which wasn’t bad, however, the super high ABV somewhat dampened what I hoped would be a rich and creamy drink IMO.
