I need more information before I'm willing to commit. When you say "two different alcoholic beverages," do you mean two different cocktails? Or two different liquors?
If I had to pick two different liquors, I'd probably go with Grey Goose vodka and Sailor Jerry rum. Always delicious, versatile, and always treat me right.
If I had to pick two different cocktails? Hmmm. . . . . that gets a little more difficult. Moscow Mule would probably be one. Then . . . . hmmm. I do love a solid margarita. None of that sour mix BS, but real lime and agave.
ETA - For the sake of full disclosure, I had a fantastic margarita with my lunch, so that might be tainting my opinion.

Hard cider (Angry Orchard or Stella) And vodka (I like all the flavors a that Smirnoff and Pinnacle have to offer) Eta: To be more specific about what I do with my vodka, I'm a froo froo girl so I usually mix it with orange juice and red bull or orange juice and blueberry juice. Unless I'm having whipped cream vodka, in which case I drink it straight.

I'm not much help. Beer and wine are pretty much all I drink.
As for a cocktail, currently I would say a Big Ginger. Irish whiskey, ginger ale, lemon and lime.
Beer: hmmm tough. I have a hard time choosing between these two, but two favorite IPA's are Surly Furious and Steel Toe Size 7. Both are local to MN, but Surly might have a larger distribution.
Wine: I am not very sophisticated. Most of the time I drink Bota Box If I'm feeling crazy I will get Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc.
I like vodka, but I'm not picky about brand since I drink vodka tonics or with flavored Pellegrino. We usually get Kirkland (which I think is Grey Goose or sim?) or the 360 brand because my husband falls for their limited edition bottles.
For summer branching out, Campari is super fun! I just had Campari and soda with lots of lemon yesterday for Happy Hour
I'm not a ton of help because I tend to stick to beer and wine myself. Like, I can't remember the last time I had a mixed drink
I tend to like the fruity beers: Abita Purple Haze (raspberry), Magic Hat #9 (apricot), Leinenkugels Summer Shandy (lemonade-y), Leinenkugels Cranberry Ginger (winter seasonal), Leinenkugels Orange Shandy (summer seasonal) Wine: I usually stick to Reislings
Someone on here mentioned Pimms recently. I drank that back in my early 20s with Sunkist Lemonade and an orange slice.

You should try the shiner bock seasonals with your beer taste! The prickly pear and ruby red bird are my FAVS. Have you tried the magic hat summer brew? Elderberry, think. I like a tiny bit of fruit in my summer beers though shandy is usually too sweet for me.
