In US English, you wouldn't say it that way. You could say "Your drink has no ice" or "your drink has no ice."
thanks! I'm from Argentina and sometimes i get a bit confused with this double class :)

@Soglio I'm sorry, probably I don't understand something, but you write twice "your drink has no ice" and I can't find the difference.
Just sticking in "doesn't" would not make it a grammatical sentence.
Your drink has no ice.
vs
Your drink doesn't have (any) ice.
But "Your drink doesn't has no ice" is wrong.
it is possible to say "your drink hasn't GOT ice" Because there are two options how to express it with a verb in a negative form. In a positive sentence you can say "Your drink has ice" or "Your drink has got ice" In negative sentences you can say "Your drink doesn't have ice" or what I've already written "Your drink hasn't got ice". Have and have got are almost the same. But "have got" can't be used in phrases such as "have lunch", "have a shower", "have a rest". In other words, you can use "have got" when you talk about possession (that somebody owns something). Hope it makes sense :o)
That's commonly used in informal speech in the USA, but it's non-standard, which means Duo probably won't accept it.
I had "There is no ice in your beverage". I think though grammatically it's different, it sounds much better in English, than "Your drink has no ice". Do we have to translate everything so literally?

Better to report these things in "report a problem." The button is to the left of the "comment" button.

In another question "The ingredient is salt" was translated as "....il sale" but here it is just "ghiaccio", not "il ghiaccio". ? 7.8.19

So did I. Beverage is closer to bevanda than drink and should most certainly be considered correct.

She doesn't pronounce well, it looks like... la tua bevanda non aa ghiaccio... in Italian, we don't pronounce the "h" (l'acca) as you do in English or German, and you can find the "h" in front of the word only in the verb "avere" (have)... io ho (I have), tu hai (you have), lui/lei/esso/essa ha (he/she/it has), loro hanno (they have)... guess why... because as I told, we don't pronounce the letter "h", but we have to distinguish "ho" from "o", "hai" from "ai", "ha" from "a" and "hanno" from "anno". In Italian no more "h", unless in words that come from other Countries, but not even in that case, we pronounce the "h"... "hotel" in Italian is "otel", "hotdog" is "otdog", like in Spanish, but you can't write "otel", "otdog" obviously it's always "hotel", "hotdog". Maybe it's not so interesting, but there will be someone who didn't know it.
It did not accept "Your drink doesn't have ice." Duolingo seems to be inconsistent- sometimes accepting contractions and other times grading the response as incorrect. Any idea why?
It's a technical glitch that Duo is shaky in its ability to handle contractions.
The answer is "Your drink has no ice." Your version means something similar, but grammatically it is so different. Yours would be something like: "Non c'è ghiaccio nel vostra bevanda." or "Ci non è ghiaccio nel vostra bevanda." or "Non c'è alcun ghiaccio nel vostra bevanda." which can also mean "There isn't any ice in your drink." Of course, you can replace vostra with tua if you want the familiar form.
I originally though "Your drink has no ice" but that would require less focus on yours and more focus on the drink having less of something meaning non wouldn't be enough with ha but more so connected with the ghiaccio?
'ha ghiaccio' lo dice troppo attaccato sembra 1 parola segnalato i am italian
In Italian, yes, because that's how Italian grammar works.
In English, no, because that's not how English grammar works.
No. The possessive adjective requires the definite article (except with singular family members).
It's only the possessive pronoun where the definite article is optional, although it changes the connotations a little bit by shifting the emphasis to either this (not another) thing is mine or this thing is mine (not his).
Its impossible to find a bag of ice in Italy, so this sentence is a "must learn"
Can you write 'tua bevanda' or do you have to put, 'la tua bevanda'...'the your drink'?
Except for singular family members, a possessive noun phrase must have a definite article. It has to be "la tua bevanda".
Can someone explain when it's appropriate to use la tua, le tue, il tuo? It's a bit confusing.
Like any other adjective, the possessives agree in gender and number with the thing that is possessed, not with who possesses it.
"Bevanda" is singular feminine, so "your drink" is "la tua bevanda", regardless who "you" is.
Singular masculine nouns take "il tuo".
Plural masculine nouns take "i tuoi".
Plural feminine nouns take "le tue".
This pattern holds for all of the possessives.

Should it be "il ghiaccio". I tought the article ALWAYS stands before noun? Confuseeeeed
Bevanda is both beverage and drink. Not sure why beverage caused me to get it wrong.

Then you didn't answer it correctly. From now on, please either copy and paste or take a screenshot of your full exact answer so we can help you find the real reason it marked you wrong.
When I wrote: "Your drink doesn't have ice" it was wrong... now that turns out ot be the way it presents the sentence! Lol
There is a chart further up this page that shows how avere conjugates. ho is "I have" and ha is "he/she has".
