A improvised incendiary [[bomb]] made simply by filling a glass [[bottle]] with fuel or any volatile substance, sealing it with a piece of cloth and then lighting the cloth on fire when used. The bottle is tossed at the target, which immediately is covered by the burning fuel after the glass breaks upon contact.

It has been used by different gangs and various non-state combatants different parts of the world.

Its common name comes from an insulting reference (not a tribute) from Finnish soldier (who used the "cocktail" to great effect during the Winter war, and later [[World War II]]) to [[Soviet]] foreign minister [[Vyacheslav Molotov]], who was responsible for the partition of [[Finland]] during [[Joseph Stalin]]'s regime. Molotov himself highly disliked the name.
