Morphology

drink + combo

The meaning 'a combination of drinks...' is directly derivable from combining 'drink' (a beverage) with 'combo' (a pairing/mixture) and follows a straightforward noun+noun compounding pattern. Although 'combo' is somewhat colloquial, the compositional logic is common across languages and contexts (e.g., 'meal combo'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Drink combo is a simple idea: a shop puts two or more drink items together as a combo, meaning 'a set', and sells them for one price, so it means 'a combination of drinks offered together'.
