Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a sweet beverage with a pronounced fruit flavor' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fruity' (having a fruit-like taste) with 'drink' (a beverage). This simple adjective+noun composition follows standard English semantics and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Fruity drink comes from the simple picture of a drink full of real fruit, bright and sweet. That's why the term now means a sweet, strong fruit-flavored beverage often enjoyed by children or at parties.
