How can I calculate the inverse Fourier transform of the following $$\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{4}e^{-jw}}$$

I have tried looking at the table of Fourier transforms but I can't find anything useful. Thanks for any tips in advance.

The given expression can be written as a geometric series: $$\frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{4}e^{-i\omega}} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{4^n}e^{-i\omega n}$$ which looks like the discrete-time Fourier transform of the sequence $(1/4^n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$.
