you clearly don't understand what dry in terms of beverage goes. It's like a dry wine or dry saki etc. It's not that it is literally dry, it has to do with the flavour.

Among its many other meanings, the word "dry" can mean "not sweet", as in a dry wine. When John McLaughlin originally formulated his new soft drink, it was far less sweet than other ginger ales then available; as a result, he labeled it "dry". [2]

Canada Dry isn't much more than HFCS and water these days, kinda sad.
Dry probably means non-alcoholic, think wet bar.
