Hi Antonio,

Your solution is correct, but because of a bug in your code, the challenge isn’t able to test your answer.

When you declare a variable with const it becomes immutable. Which means its value cannot be changed. If you try to declare that same variable a second time, the Javascript interpreter throws an error and stops executing the code.

The drink variable is already defined. The challenge wants you to change the value of drink to a version that utilizes template literals.

You’ve done an excellent job at figuring that out, but you can only have one variable named drink in this file. So just delete the first drink variable declaration and you should be good to go.
