A lid assembly for a drink container includes a top, a bottom, and a plunger. The top includes a drink opening. The bottom includes a drink path opening. With the plunger connected with the top and the bottom the top is rotatable about a rotational axis with respect to the bottom to move the plunger in a direction parallel with the rotational axis such that the lid assembly is movable into an open position in which fluid in a drink container to which the lid assembly is attached is able to flow around the plunger and through the drink opening, a closed position in which fluid in the drink container is blocked by the plunger from flowing through the drink opening, and an unlocked position in which the top is removable from the bottom by moving the top with respect to the bottom in a direction parallel with the rotational axis.
