Morphology

raspberry + drizzle

The noun phrase combines 'raspberry' (the fruit) with 'drizzle' (a thin pouring or light sauce), so the meaning 'a thin raspberry sauce used as a topping' is directly derivable from the parts. This flavor+topping composition is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Raspberry drizzle creates a simple image: fresh raspberries mashed into a thin, sweet sauce that you slowly drizzle over a cake or ice cream. That's why it means 'a sweet sauce used as a topping for desserts'.
