#65 Molotov Cocktail + 2014 Ukrainian Revolution

Join the Whiskey Bench as they continue the Ukraine series. Last episode left off at the 2004 orange revolution, and today, the Bench fast forwards to cover the short and wild Maidan Revolution that occurred in 2014. In this episode Kat and Stephen dive into a timeline of events including NGO involvement, US government involvement, Neo-Nazis fighting in the revolution, and much more. Grab yourself a cocktail and get ready!

Molotov Cocktail (Torna original)

1 1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz fire ball
1/4 oz curacao
1 oz lemon juice
Add all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. Strain into desired glass and proceed (using the backside of a barspoon) to gently pour a high proof liquor like Everclear or 141 rum. This will result in a layer of liquor to "float" on the surface. Grab a lighter or a match and set it ablaze. Watch it burn, and blow out the flame before you drink.
