I can't figure this out despite looking at previous posts. This doesn't work.

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

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

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

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

Hi John,

You basically have the answer!

Sometimes spacing makes a difference and in this case you will need to have the tick marks next to the code without extra spaces. Once you eliminate the extra spaces, you are all done.

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

Cheers!
