A lid seal mechanism for sealing a drink opening in a lid of a beverage container. The lid seal mechanism has a slider, a plunger and a plunger seal. The slider body slides between a closed position and an open position, and pivots to a cleaning position. The slider body is connected to the lid in each of the closed, open, and cleaning positions. The slider has a body with a front and a rear. The plunger is pivotally connected to the front of the slider. The plunger seal is connected to the plunger. The plunger seal seals the drink opening in the lid when the slider is in the closed position, and the plunger seal opens the drink opening when the slider is in the open position to allow a user to drink contents from the beverage container.
