From what I can tell, since the mutagen is created beforehand and stowed, you'd need to draw it first, and then standard to imbibe it.

Extracts are the same way, treated as potions, so you have to draw it first, then standard action to imbibe it.

The only Alchemist items that don't follow those rules are bombs, since it specifically says that "Drawing the components of, creating, and throwing a bomb requires a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity."


Standard with drawing included in the action. See this FAQ post

I would say, however, that if you give someone else an extract using the Infusion discovery, it is very likely a move action for them to retrieve it.
