Piñones: Bite-Sized Crosswords with a Twist

A nice 3x3 to bring the difficulty back down :)

Instructions (best on desktop):

Solve the grid using the clues provided. The direction of the word is indicated by the number around the grid (so some words are backwards).
After you complete the grid, click the pencil icon tab at the bottom to switch over to solve the anagram. The title is a hint to the anagram!

I figured out the anagram pretty quickly but don't quite see the connection to the puzzle title...

Unless I am missing some context, which is entirely possible!
- Solid time!!!
  !All good! As far as I know, "dry" has a definition of meaning "non-alcoholic". For example, in "Dry January", where people abstain from alcohol, and a "dry bar", which you sometimes see advertised at events to let people know that there will only be non-alcoholic drinks served. I'm not 100% on the origin, I've seen some reference prohibition in the US where towns and states were labeled "dry" if alcohol was outlawed, but I'm sure something predates it if I dug further! I wonder if this is a North Americanism as well..!<
  
  That makes sense, thanks!
  Ps: your spoiler didn't work on my end, might need to fix it.
