Morphology

dino + juice

The meaning 'a drink associated with dinosaurs' is directly derivable from combining 'dino' (dinosaur) with 'juice' (a drink); the compound straightforwardly names a dinosaur-themed or child-oriented beverage. This modifier+noun composition is a common, compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the intended meaning.

Etymology

Dino juice may come from a simple image: bright green or thick drinks that look like something a dinosaur (a dino) might drink, while juice here just means a 'drink'. That's why people call playful children's drinks, green smoothies, or even bright energy drinks dino juice today.
