Morphology
The meaning 'a bottle designed for containing soft drinks' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'soda' (a soft drink) + 'bottle' (a container). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern with no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
Soda bottle simply names a container for fizzy drinks: soda is the fizzy drink and bottle is the glass or plastic container. Imagine bubbles trapped inside until you open the cap and the fizz pops out; that image helps you remember it means 'a bottle for soft drinks'.
