A container drying device for quickly drying containers such as glasses, bottles, jars, and mugs. The container drying device includes an air blower with intake and an output with an elongate conduit fluidly connected to the output of the air blower. The conduit is outwardly extended from the air blower over a base. At least one tubes is upwardly extended from the conduit. The tube has an open upper end and a plurality of spaced apart side apertures. A tray is disposed around the tube.
