Morphology
dogwood + vodka
This is a straightforward noun–noun compound naming a type of vodka made from or infused with dogwood (the tree/fruit). A B1 learner who knows 'dogwood' and 'vodka' can readily infer it refers to vodka flavored or produced using dogwood, following common product-naming composition patterns.
Etymology
Dogwood vodka gets its name from the bright red fruit of the dogwood tree that people soak in vodka to give the spirit a tart, fruity taste. So, the name now means 'a strong liqueur made by soaking dogwood fruit in vodka'.
