A sanitary lid includes a top portion and a side portion. The top portion has an aperture formed therethrough, and the side portion extends downwardly from the top portion. A rim-engaging annulus is formed between the top portion and the side portion. The rim-engaging annulus is configured to be releasably engagable with a rim of a can. A seal member is disposed on an inner side of the top portion at or near the aperture and projects downwardly therefrom. The sanitary lid is configured so that when the rim-engaging annulus is engaged with the rim of the can, the aperture is substantially aligned with an orifice of the can, and the seal member forms a seal with the orifice. Accordingly, the beverage in the can is able to flow through the orifice, across the seal member, and through the aperture without contacting the top of the can.
