Just pull the straw/tube out, and blow it out in the sink - all the
water is gone. Voila!

You could also buy a cork sprinkler top for any soda bottle like we
used to use to sprinkle clothes with that needed ironing - you can
still find those cork sprinkler tops at hardware stores. Then you
could just shake the water out.
