1. An insulating container comprising:
a canister comprising:
a first wall having a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid;
a second wall forming an outer shell of the canister, the second wall having a second end configured to support the canister on a surface;
a spout adapter, comprising:
a bottom threaded surface configured to removably couple to the opening of the canister;
a spout opening;
a spout channel extending between the spout opening and a bottom surface of the spout adapter, such that the spout channel fluidly connects the internal reservoir and the spout opening, the spout channel having a uniform diameter between the spout opening and the bottom surface of the spout adapter that is narrower than the opening of the canister; and
a sealed internal cavity extending around the spout channel;
a threaded outer spout surface which is narrower than the bottom threaded surface; and
a cap, configured to removably couple to the threaded outer spout surface and seal the spout opening, wherein the cap has a magnetic top surface and is configured to magnetically couple to a docking surface of the spout adapter when removed from the spout opening.
