The espresso martini is having a serious moment on the craft cocktail scene. A throwback shaken up with booze, a touch of sweetener, and freshly brewed espresso, it’s typically served up in a chilled glass. Its appeal is not surprising to any iced coffee-loving New Englander, and we hardly need an excuse to add this classic cocktail to our brunch order — but an opportunity to advocate for women working in the complex coffee industry while sipping an espresso martini? That’s a reason to rise and shine.

Throughout March, Terra at Eataly Boston is celebrating Women’s History Month by donating $1 to the Women in Coffee Project from every Women in Coffee Espresso Martini sold. By engaging the industry with events and advocacy, the Women in Coffee Project raises awareness about issues around gender equity in coffee-producing countries and encourages activism. Funds support its programming; this year, they are going to the construction of a community library in the coffee-producing town of Marcala, Honduras.

The Women in Coffee Espresso Martini at Terra is made with an espresso blend of the same name from Caffè Vergnano — a 130-year-old Italian roasting company that sources high-quality coffee beans from around the world — plus St. George AP Vodka, Caffè Borghetti, and Frangelico.

Terra, the sunny, vine-draped restaurant atop Eataly Boston, recently reintroduced weekend brunch. The menu includes three espresso martinis, each crafted with a unique blend from Caffè Vergnano. Terra brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., and reservations are available.
