The Winter of Mixed Drinks is the third studio album by Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit, released on 1 March 2010 through independent label FatCat Records.
 As with its predecessor, the critically acclaimed "The Midnight Organ Fight" (2008), the album was recorded and produced by Peter Katis.
 Vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Scott Hutchison states that "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" is "more of a storytelling record" than the band's previous two albums, and notes 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."

Drink mixers are the non-alcoholic ingredients in mixed drinks and cocktails.
 There are many reasons mixers are used.
 They change or enhance flavors or add new ones to a drink.
 Mixers dilute the drink, lowering the alcohol by volume in the drink.
 They may make the drink sweeter, more sour, or more savory.
 Some mixers change the texture or consistency of the drink, making it thicker or more watery.
 Drink mixers may also be used strictly for decorative purposes by changing the color or appearance of the drink.

Flaming beverages include cocktails and other mixed drinks that contain flammable, high-proof alcohol, which is ignited prior to consumption.
 The alcohol may be an integral part of the drink, or it may be floated as a thin layer across the top of the drink.

 However, in combination with certain ingredients, the flavor of the drink is altered.
 Some flavors are enhanced, and it may impart a toasted flavor to some drinks.

 Bijou means "jewel" in French.
 It is said to have been invented by Harry Johnson.

 An original-style Bijou is made stirred with ice as Harry Johnson's 1900 "New and Improved Bartender Manual" states "mix well with a spoon and serve."
 This recipe is also one of the oldest in the manual dating back to 1890s.
