JS Basics: Write a Template Literal - Challenge Task

I have rewritten this code and cannot figure out my mistake. error: Cannot read property '1' of null... in need of help!

app.js 
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

Hi Le'mon!

The only issue I see is that you should be replacing this line:

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

with this line:

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

So comment out or delete this line:

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

This passes:

const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

I hope that helps

Stay safe and happy coding!
