What is the answer?

What did I do wrong?

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

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

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

You are very very close. You've certainly demonstrated you understand template literals.

Errors like these can be very frustrating. Make sure for the price you add another $ in front of ${price} because that dollar needs to appear in the output.

And don't worry about the full stop at the end of the literal. The challenge is looking for the exact correct output. :-)
