Abstract
A lid and a removable sealing assembly are provided for use in an integrated configuration where the sealing assembly is secured to the lid. The sealing assembly may be separated from the lid in a cleaning configuration that facilitates thorough cleaning of the lid and the sealing assembly. The lid includes a trigger assembly selectively operable to engage with the sealing assembly to unseal a drinking aperture on the lid when the lid and sealing assembly are in the integrated configuration. The sealing assembly includes guide members that are configured to engage with respective guide tracks on the lid in the integrated configuration. A latching portion of the sealing assembly secures the sealing assembly to a support lip of the lid in the integrated configuration.
