The 82-year-old has received a vast amount of backlash after she was caught using a “small iceberg” to chill her alcoholic beverage on a cruise from Iceland to Greenland. I’m not even going to talk about the boat you’re on and how that can’t be good for climate change either.” Another Instagram user echoed the same sentiment: “I generally love Martha and the excesses of her life because she’s about beautiful gardens, homes, and food, but wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone-deaf.” “Global warming and melting ice caps but we need glacier ice for cocktails?! Another commenter pointed to a different issue with Stewart’s use of the iceberg: “Umm the amount of dirt and pollution in that ice may not be what I would want to consume but to each their own.” Though a majority of viewers were displeased with her actions, a few people poked fun at her admission and others thanked Stewart for the cocktail suggestion. “If you can’t find fresh icebergs for your cocktails store bought is fine,” a sarcastic user wrote, while another added: “I only use the finest icebergs for my cocktails.” “I love seeing her enjoy her life,” one fan proclaimed.
