Etymology
醆 combines 酉 (wine vessel) with 戔, which likely contributes the sound. The character is used for a specific type of wine cup.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 酉 is a wine jar, and the right side 戔 looks like a small cup with a lid. Together they make a wine cup.
Reading mnemonic
For サン, imagine the sun (サン) shining on a wine cup, making the wine sparkle: sun -> サン.
