Morphology
The meaning 'a carbonated beverage' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'fizzy' (bubbly/effervescent) with 'drink' (a beverage). The adjective+noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Fizzy drink comes from the little bubbles and the 'fizz' sound they make when a bottle or can is opened. The word fizzy describes those bubbling sounds, so fizzy drink means a non-alcoholic 'bubbly' or 'carbonated' drink.
