Morphology
The meaning 'a container for holding liquids to be drunk' is directly and compositionally derived from 'drinking' (relating to consuming liquids) + 'vessel' (a container). This straightforward noun + noun/adjectival modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Drinking vessel combines drinking (the action) and vessel (a container) to make the clear image of something you put to your mouth to drink. So the name simply means 'a container for holding liquids to be drunk'.
