A crude yet rather effective firebomb consisting of a bottle containing flammable materials (i.e kerosene, gasoline, oil, or other flammable things) with an ignited rag at the top. Somewhat easy to make, and used sometimes by rioters, rebels, and folks who just plain want to burn things.

It is made by a glass container, a flammable liquid (usually gasoline or alcohol with 50% alcohol content or higher), a rag and a source of fire (lighter or matches).

-Throw the Molotov Cocktail from a safe distance
I’m probably on a list now.
The Molotov Cocktail originated in Finland during the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland. The bomb was mass produced as a mockery to the Soviet lie of food being dropped to the Finns from the sky while, in reality, bombs were dropped instead. A drink to go with the food. The term: ‘Molotov Cocktail’ derived from the name of the Soviet foreign minister with the last name: ‘Molotov’.
Nowadays, Molotov Cocktails are utilised in riots and low-level terrorist attacks.
