Soviet diplomat known for his "cocktails" (7)

I believe the answer is:

molotov

(Other definitions for molotov that I've seen before include "Cocktail maker" , "Type of cocktail" , "Soviet statesman (with a liking for cocktails?), d. 1986" , "Soviet statesman - cocktail which explodes!" , "- Cocktail is a grenade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
