You almost are right. But you used single quotes instead of back ticks. They are different. Back ticks are in the left corner of your keyboard is differnt than quotes. 

const drink = '${flavor} ${type}: ${price}';      => single quotes
const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: ${price}`;    => backticks

I had an issue with this question too. the double $$ was not allowing me to complete the question

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

If this is your code the only probelm I see is that you have written the variable flavor wrong. It is flavor not flavour. 

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