Morphology

blueberry + liqueur

The meaning 'a sweet alcoholic beverage flavored with blueberries' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'blueberry' (the flavoring ingredient) with 'liqueur' (a sweet alcoholic drink). This noun–noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Blueberry liqueur comes from the simple practice of steeping ripe blueberries in alcohol to make a sweet, flavored liqueur. So the name means 'a sweet alcoholic drink flavored with blueberries'.
