Morphology

boozily = booze (semi-transparent) = booze + ily

The suffix '-ily' indicates an adverbial form, but the specific meaning related to alcohol consumption is not fully transparent.

Etymology

Boozily comes from the common word booze ('to drink alcohol' or 'alcohol') and the ending -ly, which makes it mean 'in that way'. So a cake or sauce described as boozily soaked clearly tastes or smells of alcohol, like rum or sherry.
