History

Opened in 1890, the Canadian pharmacist John J. McLaughlin a soda-water factory in Toronto. In 1904 he introduced Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale ago. By sending his product to New York in 1919, it was announced that he had opened an additional factory in Manhattan after a short time. Finally, PD Saylor and Associates bought the business from McLaughlin and Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc. was born.

The popularity of the mixed drink Canada Dry began during Prohibition, because its flavor helped mask the taste of home-distilled alcohol.

In the 1930s, Canada Dry expanded worldwide, and from the 1950s the company introduced her a broader product offering.

Today, Canada Dry is part of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group of Plano, Texas, which has split off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008. Still wearing the Ginger Ale bottle in their logo a map of Canada.
