What is your favorite type of liquor?

I 24F am not an experienced drinker. I’m straight up a pot head but I recently started getting into drinking because I’m on a tolerance break from weed, but whenever I go to the liquor store, I never know what to buy. The last time I went there I got the cheapest bottle of vodka I could find, brought it home and tasted it, and it literally tasted like drinking pure isopropyl alcohol not intended for human consumption. I’m trying to figure out what to look for when I go there that will get me drunk efficiently without tasting like the periodic table. What do you recommend?!
