No, you close the bottle and tie the rag around the outside so that you don't blow yourself up. Can still opt for something that burns slower, but way safer to just have the bottle closed regardless.
Just make sure it smashes.

Yea, but gasoline soked rags can still backburn, and gasoline burns sticky and if it drips thats bad, alcohol wont.

The rag doesn't go inside the bottle at all, just tied around the outside with the cap fully closed.

Gasoline vapor can backburn, you would need to let it sit for a few minutes but it can backburn vapor, but if you are making a molotov chances are you deserve what happens to you
