Morphology

apple + vodka

This is a straightforward noun–noun compound where 'apple' specifies the flavor or ingredient of 'vodka', so the overall meaning (vodka flavored or made with apples) is directly derivable from the constituents. Such flavor/ingredient compounds are cross-linguistically common and follow transparent compositional patterns that a B1 learner who knows both words can easily infer.

Etymology

Apple vodka comes from the simple idea of putting apple flavor into vodka, like adding apple juice or slices to the clear spirit. So, apple vodka means 'a strong drink of vodka that tastes of apple'.
