Where is the spacing error, it's printing verbatim.

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

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

Convert the set of concatenated strings assigned to the drink variable to a template literal. The final string should be "Blueberry Smoothie: $4.99".

Bummer: Make sure you're including : $ immediately after type and before price.

This code adds an extra space at the very end of the string that the original version didn't have.

Remove the stray extra space and you'll pass.

Took me literally hours to get this right but I finally got it. Watch the spacing between the colon and the $ sign.
