Answer:

Molotov cocktail

Step-by-step explanation:

It's also known as petrol bomb, bottle bomb or poor man's grenade, among other names.

It was invented in the late 1930s.

Its name doesn't come from the inventor or from a drink's name. It was named that way Finns as an insult to a Russian minister (Vyacheslav Molotov) who was not really liked by the Finns.

It's been used then for almost a century mostly by protesters, but also during war times.
