In 2025, white-label cannabis beverages are no longer a behind-the-scenes secret—they are front and center on dispensary shelves. Many of the drinks consumers recognize today are actually produced by specialized co-packers and infusion partners, then branded by retailers or companies seeking rapid market entry. Below is a review of the most popular white-labeled or co-packed cannabis beverages available in dispensaries right now, highlighting their unique strengths and presence in the growing market.
Pabst Labs — High Seltzer (California)

Why White Label Matters
The current wave of white-label beverages illustrates how co-packing facilities drive the entire category forward. Facilities such as Pabst Labs and Emerald Canning Partners allow retailers and brands to access professional-grade canning, pasteurization, and emulsification technologies. This enables faster launches, wider availability, and consistent product quality.
White-label also demonstrates proof of demand. Tracking data continues to show significant growth in THC beverages, with major beverage operators investing in co-packing infrastructure. Early pioneers like Tinley set the stage for today’s retail strategies, where house brands and licensed labels thrive side by side.
Shelf-Spotter Tips
Shoppers looking to explore cannabis beverages should watch for:
- Low-dose seltzers in 12 oz cans (2–5 mg THC).
- Tall-can iced teas and lemonades with higher potencies, often up to 100 mg (Uncle Arnie’s).
- Retail-exclusive sub-brands, produced by regional co-packers like ECP.
Across all these categories, professional infusion technology ensures reliable onset times and consistent potency, making white-label beverages a trusted choice for consumers.
