    Help required - where can you buy 'dry' - NOT dry ginger!

    1st world problem people and I need your help. It seems the soft drink mixer 'dry' is no more - at least that I can find. Everywhere now just has 'dry ginger ale' which is not the same thing - I'm looking for the stuff like what's in 'Canadian Club and Dry'.

    I'm sure you used to be able to get it but my searchs in Woolies, Coles, local independants and even Dan Murphys has come up 'dry'.

    Can anyone shed some light on where the hell I can get this now?

    Cheers.

    I thought 'dry' was an abbreviation for dry ginger ale.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    There definately used to be a different one that Schwepps made, but seems to be no longer available. If the Canadian club and dry is dry ginger, then it's a very different dry than what we get in the supermarkets because it doesn't have anywhere near the ginger taste that the crappy dry ginger tastes like you can buy locally.

    The search continues...

    Swepps used to do a different one in their mixer range of beverages in the small bottles

    Was always beside the bitter lemon in my local supermarket

    Was a stronger dryer mix than in the big bottles imho

    The dry is a type , brand called Canada Dry. The imported is better than Schweppes , but to my memory it is still a sweeter product than I remember drinking as a kid.

    Kirks do 2 different Dry Ginger Ales. I thought one was for mixing and the other as a straight drink.
