Morphology
goofy + juice
The combination of 'goofy' (silly) and 'juice' (a drink) makes it reasonably inferable to a B1 learner that the phrase refers to a drink that causes silly behavior, so the basic idea is compositionally transparent. However, the specific implicature that it denotes alcoholic drinks is slangy and not a standard meaning of 'juice', so the alcoholic/idiomatic sense is not fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Goofy juice likely started as a joking name for a drink that makes people act silly: goofy means 'silly' and juice means 'drink'. That's why it now means 'alcoholic drinks' that cause playful or silly behavior.
