West Bourget was one of the opening bartenders at FTW; young, talented and service focussed. One of his first drinks on the menu was so popular that it stayed on the menu for two editions. His "cheater" take on a Fish House Punch, the One Inch Punch became a crowd favorite and quite possibly West's signature cocktail that will follow him for his career in one incarnation or another.

This is his original recipe -
