Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: knowing 'rowan' (a berry-bearing tree), 'berry', and 'vodka' allows a learner to infer this is vodka made from or flavored with rowan berries. This follows common cross-linguistic and English noun-compound patterns (e.g., 'raspberry vodka'), so the meaning is immediately derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Rowan berry vodka comes from a simple kitchen idea: people soak bright rowan berries in clear vodka, so the liquid takes the berries' colour and flavour. That's why the name means a strong, fruity 'drink' made with rowan berries.
