A pitcher and a lid that can be locked in place on the pitcher. The upper rim of the pitcher has an outwardly extending lip provided with two diametrically opposed cutouts. The periphery of the lid has two diametrically opposed lugs each provided with a downwardly extending hook. The lid is applied by aligning the lugs with the cutouts so that the hooks can pass through the cutouts. When the lid is then turned, the hooks fit beneath and interlock with the lip to secure the lid in place. Pour openings in the skirt of the lid are offset 90°from the lugs to assure that the lid is in the locked condition when the liquids in the pitcher are poured.
