Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'mixed' (made by combining ingredients) + 'drink' (a beverage) yields a beverage made by mixing components. This adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the intended (usually alcoholic) sense from context.
Etymology
The noun mixed drink comes from the simple idea of mixed and drink: someone mixes two or more liquids into one glass. So mixed drink means an 'alcoholic drink' made by combining ingredients like spirits, juice, or soda.
