Morphology

feeling + daiquiried

The adjective 'daiquiried' is transparently formed from 'daiquiri' + -ed to mean 'affected by daiquiris', so paired with 'feeling' it clearly denotes being slightly drunk or tipsy after drinking daiquiris. This follows regular English derivational patterns (drink name + -ed) and would be predictable to learners who know the noun 'daiquiri' and the adjectival -ed pattern.

Etymology

Feeling daiquiried comes from the sweet cocktail daiquiri, a rum drink that can make you feel light and a little drunk. So when someone says they are feeling daiquiried, they mean they are 'tipsy' or slightly drunk after having daiquiris.
