You've got the syntax right for referencing the variables with template literals.

Template literals mean you don't have to worry about string concatenation or using quote marks unless you need them in your string.

All you need to do is add all your text inside a single string as a trmplate literal, like this

const drink = `${var1 } ${var2 }: $${var3}`;
