Stewart’s post received backlash from her followers who felt her comments ignored the climate crisis.

"Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink," wrote one commenter.

"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," shared another.

"Martha I love ya. But weren’t you just talking about climate change with your wash out on your driveway in NY? Melting icebergs for a cocktail surely won’t help. I’m not even going to talk about the boat you’re on and how that can’t be good for climate change either," said a third.

"You should have left the ice right where it was. You have heard of global warming haven’t you?" questioned another.

Representatives for Stewart did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the post.

"Umm the amount of dirt and pollution in that ice may not be what I would want to consume but to each there own," added another.

"Ancient ice burg with a side of ancient ice worm martinis for everyone! Sounds like the start of a zombie movie," quipped a third.
