Morphology
The meaning 'vodka flavored with pepper' is directly derivable from combining 'pepper' (a pungent spice) and 'vodka' (an alcoholic beverage); this is a straightforward noun‑noun compound indicating flavoring. The compositional pattern is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Pepper vodka comes from the simple idea of adding pepper to vodka so the spirit takes on a hot, spicy taste. That's why the name means 'vodka flavored with pepper' today.
