Martha Stewart hits back at critics after using an iceberg in her cocktail

Martha Stewart is unbothered by critics who slammed her for using “a small iceberg” to chill her cocktail while on a cruise from Greenland from Iceland.

“Pleated iceberg. perfect for cocktails!” the former TV show host wrote alongside a photo of an iceberg posted to her Instagram Story Tuesday.

Stewart, 82, also reposted a Washington Post article with the headline, “Martha Stewart put an iceberg in her drink. Experts say it’s no big deal.”

Her snide remark comes after fans grilled Stewart for her use of the naturally forming icebergs in her drink during the luxe cruise.

“End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland,” Stewart captioned a carousel post made to Instagram Monday.

“We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.”

One of the photos featured Stewart smiling as she showed off her iceberg-chilled cocktail, along with a slew of snaps of various icebergs in the water during her excursion.

Another photo posted to her Instagram Story showed Stewart enjoying a dip in the hot tub during the boat ride.

Her nonchalant post riled up her viewers, including one who wrote, “Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink.”

Another commented that Stewart’s frivolous choice in ice sounded like “a line from a dystopian novel.”

“The earth is on fire but why not enjoy a good cocktail,” a third user commented.

As for the expert opinion siding with Stewart, glaciologist Eric Rignot — a professor in the Earth system science department at the University of California at Irvine — told the outlet, “It is not like she went to a glacier and carved a piece of ice off it,”

“Icebergs float at sea already and slowly melt. Whether they melt in the ocean or in your glass does not make a difference.”

Another glaciologist told the Washington Post that the tour company’s use of fossil fuels to transport the passengers during their voyage caused a much greater environmental impact than the stray pieces of ice the tourists plucked out of the water to chill their drinks.

“Popping a bit of ice into a drink is no worse than taking a glass of water from a river,” said glaciologist Ian Allison, a professor at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies.
