Grubhub Toasts Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5 With Pastrami-Inspired Martini
Manhattanites, you're in for a treat. In honor of the fifth and final season of Prime Video's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Grubhub has joined forces with New York City-based mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer to create the Maisel Tov Martini, a specialty cocktail designed to help viewers toast the show's beginning of the end with an extra flair Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) herself would approve of.
Known for her love of good drinks and food from Jewish delis, Midge's proclivities are celebrated with this unique cocktail recipe. Wiznitzer has enhanced a traditional gin martini with caraway-infused vermouth and flavored the drink with all things Mrs. Maisel adores: rye bread, olives, pastrami spices, and of course, dry gin.
Using an oil that incorporates pastrami brine and spiced rub, then garnishing the cocktail with an olive coated in pastrami rub seasoning, Wiznitzer presents a cocktail with satisfying depth and umami flavor that vegetarians and pastrami lovers alike can enjoy while watching the start of the new season. (If you're not convinced, check out our review of the Maisel Tov Martini.) The unique offering is part of Prime Video and Grubhub's "Tune In & Takeout" effort, an initiative to help viewers enjoy shows while sampling foods related to the content.
"We're thrilled to continue our collaboration with Amazon Prime and Prime Video with our latest Tune In & Takeout series activation, bringing Grubhub and Prime members even more value and unexpected surprises, like the delicious pastrami-inspired martini," Marnie Boyer, vice president of marketing at Grubhub, said in a prepared statement.
Date night in a box
Only 1,000 of these experiences will be available, with orders limited to one per customer. We suggest booking your delivery date and time in advance, as Maisel Tov Martinis are served during limited hours, from 2:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. ET on Friday, April 14 and Saturday, April 15. (The final "Mrs. Maisel" season premieres on Friday with three episodes.)

Orders of the Maisel Tov Martini will arrive in bright pink packages with enough cocktail mix to serve two, plus two martini glasses, a martini shaker, all necessary garnishes, and instructions to serve the recipe with style. To keep hunger pangs at bay, the Maisel Tov Martini cocktail is accompanied by Midge's favorite sandwich — she loves pastrami, but you can get yours with corned beef or turkey on rye too. Vegetarians can opt for a stubbed cabbage entrée while enjoying the final season. Deliveries also include a pickle, potato knish, and a black and white cookie to bring the full deli experience right to your front door.
For $29.95, date night is sorted, and you can even try out "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" drinking game as you binge the first three episodes — certainly an experience Midge would toast to.
