• and
• a valve movable between first, second and third valve positions,
• (a) in the first valve position the valve closes off fluid communication between the additive passageway and the mixing chamber to block the flow of additive to the mixing chamber through the additive passageway, and provides fluid communication between the beverage passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of beverage to the mixing chamber through the beverage passageway,
• (b) in the second valve position the valve provides fluid communication between the additive passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of additive to the mixing chamber through the additive passageway, and provides fluid communication between the beverage passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of beverage to the mixing chamber through the beverage passageway, to allow mixing of the additive and beverage reaching the mixing chamber, and
• (c) in the third valve position the valve provides fluid communication between the additive passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of additive to the mixing chamber through the additive passageway, and closes off fluid communication between the beverage passageway and the mixing chamber to block the flow of beverage to the mixing chamber through the beverage passageway.

A lid usable with a container having first and second chambers for containing first and second fluids therein, respectively, the second chamber being located at least partially within the first chamber, the first and second chambers each having an open upper end portion, comprising:

• a lid removably attachable to the open upper end portion of the second chamber and removably attachable to the open upper end portion of the first chamber, the lid having a mixing chamber, a first fluid passageway and a second fluid passageway, the first passageway extending between the mixing chamber and the first chamber when the lid is attached to the open upper end portion of the first chamber to provide a flow of the first fluid between the first chamber and the mixing chamber, and the second passageway extending between the mixing chamber and the open upper end portion of the second chamber when the lid is attached to the open upper end portion of the second chamber to provide a flow of the second fluid between the second chamber and the mixing chamber;
• and
• a valve movable between first, second and third positions,
• (a) in the first valve position the valve closes off fluid communication between the second passageway and the mixing chamber to block the flow of the second fluid to the mixing chamber through the second passageway, and provides fluid communication between the first passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of the first fluid to the mixing chamber through the first passageway,
• (b) in the second valve position the valve provides fluid communication between the second passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of the second fluid to the mixing chamber through the second passageway, and provides fluid communication between the first passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of the first fluid to the mixing chamber through the first passageway, to allow mixing of the second fluid and first fluid that reaches the mixing chamber, and
• (c) in the third valve position the valve provides fluid communication between the second passageway and the mixing chamber to permit the flow of second fluid to the mixing chamber through the second passageway, and closes off fluid communication between the first passageway and the mixing chamber to block the flow of the first fluid to the mixing chamber through the first passageway.
