Also, probably a significant note -- the cheaper the booze the more you'll taste it.
Vodka out of a plastic bottle is going to be a lot harsher than top shelf.

A close second : Margaritas
Try a Gin Rickey. Light and refreshing, easy to drink, and they often come in a number of flavors. A Gin Gimlet can be good for people who don't normally drink a lot of alcohol, for the same reason.

Try a Piña colada with less rum and more coconut after a long day outside, the mildly creamy taste feels great.

I imagine Bacardi Breezer could do: it's very sweet and soft, like Kopparberg.
Or just tell your barman to go easy on the alcohol, and go for mojito/margarita/screwdriver
Sprite + white wine, cocacola + red wine are also sweet and soft.
Pasteurized/carbonated drinks should not be named cider. Or perry.

A lot of times the higher quality liquor goes down a lot easier than the cheap stuff, I'm thinking of rum and tequila. Spend like $40 or more a bottle.
Me I just drink to get drunk when I drink.

While there's some truth to that (a good quality Reposado will often go down easier than a shitty silver), most of the time the biggest thing that makes a difference in how smoothly something goes down is liquor type. Gold tequilas will always be a lot rougher than silver tequilas.
Also, if you find that something is rough going down, chances are it hasn't been cut well enough. The reason a martini is so smooth even though it's ostensibly straight gin with a smidge of vermouth is that it gets stirred with a bunch of ice long enough that you get a good bit of water mixed in.

Banned at least 10 times. Don't give a fuck, going to keep saying what I want how I want to.
Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
Moscow mules. Non-girly alcohol drink for those that can't stomach alcohol.
Of course you could also just be a real man an drink straight vodka with a chaser. Quality vodka should barely taste like alcohol at all.
Yeah, Moscow Mules are almost always a good call for people who aren't that into alcohol. Depending on the bar, though, they can be a bit spicy, so you should be into spiciness. The spicier the better, I say, and I generally get them to make it with gin instead of vodka, because there's nothing you can make with vodka that isn't better with gin.

And they come in awesome copper mugs:
I have one of these mugs at home, and it's the best. Hold FAR more liquid than you'd think by looking at it. Protip: don't put your copper mug in the dishwasher.

I'm not big on real big on boozy tasting drinks, but some of my favorites are white Russians, amaretto sours, rum and cokes, hard lemonades.
Maybe crappy gin, mixed crappily.
There are as many different Gin flavors out there as there are wine flavors. Not all of them punch you in the face with that juniper flavor (though that's one of my favorite parts). The least juniper-y gin I'm familiar with is Nolet's, if you wanted to try it out. You'll get basically none of that "pine" flavor.
Beyond that, there's a big difference between a London Dry gin, a Sloe Gin, an Old Tom gin, and a barrel aged gin.
Like the difference between a chardonnay and a riesling.
Ironically, I got my start on gin in Africa, drinking Rhino, which really did taste like lighter fluid. I'm a bit surprised that I'm not blind.

I've always been a bourbon man myself. Jack Daniels Silver Select is relatively smooth and sits nice with 2 ice cubes.
