I am writing the template literal correctly but it is saying I am wrong

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

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

Close, but you forgot the literal dollar sign (the one that will be displayed) in front of the price.
