Published on Mar. 2, 2026

Delish has partnered with The Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City to launch a new lemon-blueberry martini, with a portion of the proceeds from each drink sold in March going to the non-profit organization Citymeals On Wheels, which provides meals and care to homebound elderly New Yorkers.

Why it matters

The new martini is part of Delish's ongoing efforts to support local charities and community organizations, especially those focused on food insecurity and aiding vulnerable populations. The Knickerbocker's martini lounge is a popular destination, making this a high-profile partnership to drive awareness and donations for Citymeals On Wheels.

The details

The lemon-blueberry martini was developed exclusively for the Knickerbocker Hotel's martini lounge, where it will be available alongside Delish's other signature cocktails like the porn star martini and cherry espresso martini. The recipe combines vodka, lemon juice, blueberry syrup, and a lemon twist garnish.

  • The lemon-blueberry martini will be available at The Knickerbocker Hotel's martini lounge throughout the month of March 2026.
  • A portion of the proceeds from each Delish martini sold at the Knickerbocker will be donated to Citymeals On Wheels during March 2026.
