Cocktails Gone Overboard?

[Cruising Caribbean]

The luxury cruise line Swan Hellenic may have pushed it a little too far with its new cocktail creation. Martha Stewart's iceberg drink received tons of backlash. Do you think it was really necessary? I don't support the idea of harming the environment, but the iceberg drink seemed pretty "chill." I initially thought this innovative drink was pretty "cool!"

Removing that chunk of sea ice from the ocean had no impact on the environment; it soon melted away either on board or in the sea. Was it gauche & uncouth? Sure, that's how the spoiled rich are. JMHO

I see nothing wrong with taking part of an iceberg to make a drink.  It’s just frozen water for goodness sake! No different than taking the salmon out of the water for your lox and bagels.  Some people like to get their panties in a wad just because.

@FJB You make a really valid point! In fact, the impact of harvesting salmon/ fishing them out of the water may be more significant than that of the iceberg drink. I'm pretty fine with regular ice. The iceberg thing is a little silly, but it is certainly creative! It's pretty eye appealing too. After this, I doubt we will be seeing more iceberg drinks any time soon.
