Morphology

mulberry + liqueur

The meaning is directly compositional: a liqueur made from mulberries follows the common noun+liqueur pattern (e.g. 'cherry liqueur', 'coffee liqueur'), so a learner who knows 'mulberry' and 'liqueur' can infer it. This fruit-flavor + beverage construction is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately understandable at B1.

Etymology

The word mulberry liqueur comes from the simple idea of soaking ripe mulberry fruit in strong alcohol to make a sweet drink called a liqueur. That's why it means 'a sweet alcoholic drink made from mulberries', often served after a meal or given as a small gift.
