For cocktails I go to Sonic (last I remember there's one in Santee) and you can buy their pebble ice by the bag. This is as close as you can get to the ice from Bali Hai. I don't know what the other Tiki Joints in town use. And yes, the ice makes a difference.
To make clear ice you need to purge the oxygen and impurities from the ice as it freezes. To don't his you need a way for it to escape. You do not need to boil water, but starting with RO water probably makes a difference.
I bought this:

And it works amazingly well. 4 clear cubes per 10-12 hours. They also make one for spheres. The bottom of the silicone mold is open which allows gasses and impurities to be pushed out of as the ice freezes top down into a water reservoir underneath. I would not attempt to fill this with boiling water.
