24. A cap assembly for a container, comprising:
a base comprising a handle that is immovably fixed to the base, the base being configured to be removably coupled to a neck of a liquid container and the handle being permanently coupled to the base at two separate attachment locations;
a drink spout extending away from the base;
a closure comprising an outer cover, the closure being 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; and
a magnetic closure retention mechanism configured to retain the outer cover at least partially against the handle.
