1. A cap assembly for a container, comprising:
a base comprising a handle and configured to be removably coupled to the container;
a drink spout extending away from the base;
a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout;
a tether coupling the closure to the base, a first portion of the tether extending around the drink spout and a second portion of the tether extending around the closure; and
a magnetic closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in an open configuration.
