3,624 PointsI keep getting this error "Make sure you're including `: $` immediately after `type` and before `price`."
const drink = ${flavor} + ' ' + ${type} + ': ' + '$' + ${price}
;
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;
const drink = `${flavor} + ' ' + ${type} + ': $' + ${price}`;

const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99;
const drink = ${flavor} ${type}: $${price}.

3,624 PointsAre you using the back ticks around the template literal? And it looks like you have an extra $ in price and a . instead of ; at the end. The solution above by Shem Ogweno helped me.
