C.F. Marciano is a mob historian with a taste for the dark, smoky corners of New York’s underworld—and the cocktails that fueled it. Known for his gritty, unapologetic style, Marciano writes mafia blogs that bleed with bullets, bourbon, and betrayal. His book Make Him a Drink He Can’t Refuse blends true crime and booze with the precision of a made man mixing a Manhattan. With a razor-sharp focus on the New York Mafia of the 1930s through the 1960s, Marciano doesn’t just tell mob stories—he pours them straight up, no chaser.
