Morphology
Both parts are compositional: 'pina' refers to pineapple and 'colada' denotes a (coconut/pineapple) cocktail or strained drink, so a learner who knows those constituents can infer this is a pineapple-based rum and coconut cocktail. The name is a literal, widely borrowed compound rather than an idiom, making the meaning immediately derivable for B1 learners who know the parts.
Etymology
Pina colada comes from the Spanish words piña ('pineapple') and colada ('strained' or 'pressed'). It gives a clear image: sweet pineapple is pressed and mixed with coconut and rum, so the name helps you remember the drink's fruity, creamy taste.
