In line five you have another set of backquotes in-between type and price. And you have some periods where they shouldn't be

What you had,

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

What it looks like without the extra backquotes and periods

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

The rest of your code seemed to be ok. Hope this helps! :)
