Morphology
The meaning 'a sweetened beverage made from diluted fruit juice' is directly and transparently derivable from 'fruit' (the ingredient) + 'drink' (a beverage); there is no idiomatic shift. This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common compositional patterns and has close parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Fruit drink comes from the simple image of squeezing fruit into a drink, often adding water or sugar. So, the name explains the modern meaning: 'a sweetened, watered-down beverage made from fruit'.
