Caipirinhas are good for using up Bacardi if you like limey drinks. They're traditionally made with a Brazilian rum (Boca?) but Bacardi does in a pinch. And I've made a caipirinha sorbet too which was tasty. David Lebovitz uses rum in lots of his ice-cream recipes, not for flavour but rather to keep the frozen dessert from freezing too hard.
Cachaca is the Brazilian alcoholic drink to make Caipirinha from - it is produced from sugar cane as well but the process is slightly different, but is not called a rum in Brazil - PIRASSUNUNGA 51 is one of the most widely used , but there are many Cachaca's from really poor to fabulously tasty (such as Sagatiba) to choose from. There are many versions of Caipirinha's using soft fruits and tropical fruits ( more correctly called a Caipifruta) as well as lime- also there is Caipiroska using Vodka instead of Cachaca. A version made with rum is a CaipirÃssima.
