How to use "Molotov cocktail" in context?
When you hear the term "Molotov Cocktail" it likely brings to mind images of fire and destruction. In reality, the Molotov cocktail is a dangerous but effective weapon used in warfare.
The Soviet Union first developed the Molotov cocktail in the early 1920s as a way to attack tanks. The cocktail consists of a bottle of wine, some fuel oil, and a lit match. When the match is lit, the fuel oil will be vaporized, igniting the wine. This explosion vaporizes the earwax and other food particles in the wine, creating a highly explosive cocktail.
