Abstract
A beverage mug includes a vessel having an enlarged base and a neck which rises to a mouth surrounded by a rim. The mouth is normally covered by a closure that includes a lid and a sipping liner. The lid fits over and engages a sipping liner, but the liner may be detached from the lid and installed separately in the mouth of the vessel. The sipping liner has a cross wall that lies within the mouth of the vessel below the rim and thereby prevents the beverage from splashing out of the mouth, but the cross wall contains an aperture to enable one to take a beverage from the vessel in sips. The lid is fitted to the liner while the liner is on the mouth of the vessel simply by placing the lid over the liner and pressing downwardly.
