Drinkware lids and methods of configuring and using drinkware lids are described. The drinkware lid may include a lid body including a spout and a first magnet. The lid may include a selector engaged with the lid body, the selector may include a second magnet. The selector may be configured to rotate between a plurality of positions including a first position in which the selector engages a cap and maintains the cap in the closed configuration, a second position in which the selector causes the cap to transition to the open configuration, and a third position in which the selector engages the cap to maintain it in the closed configuration, and in which the selector engages the lid to be maintained in the third position. The first magnet and the second magnet may be configured to bias the selector toward the first position.
A drinkware lid comprising:
