The Winter of Mixed Drinks is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit, released on March 1, 2010 on Fat Cat Records. The album's title comes from a line in the song "Living in Colour". Vocalist and guitarist Scott Hutchison (died 2018) noted that the album is: "about an escape and maybe even a slight breakdown. I have to say, it's semi-fictional. There's a protagonist who is possibly male but it doesn't really describe my life because if I did that it wouldn't make for an interesting album this time around as I’ve been quite solid and content, thankfully." The album was preceded by the singles "Swim Until You Can't See Land" and "Nothing Like You", released during November 2009 and February 2010, respectively. The album's third single "Living in Colour" was released on 14 June. The album's fourth and final single "The Loneliness and the Scream" was released in November 2010.
