What to Order?

I’m going to NYC with a few friends. I’m not a big drinker but we’ll go out to a few bars. I’d like to enjoy a cocktail or two… what can I order from pretty much any bar that’s sweet, not bitter? I am in my late 30s and don’t want to look like a college kid ordering white zinfandel, but honestly, my tastes are like a college kid’s. Any advice? Nothing too strong because I’m a lightweight.
