If you put ice in ethanol at 0 degrees (its melting point) it will melt because the melting point of ice in a mixture of water and ethanol is lower than the melting point of pure water. The melting point depends on the proportions of water and ethanol.

Does water dissolve ice or melt?

An example of melting is ice (solid) melting in water which eventually turns to liquid. Dissolving, on the other hand, is a process in which liquid solute or solid solute compound dissolves to form a solution via a solvent. An example is a coffee powder (solid solute) and hot water (solvent).

Do ice cubes dissolve?

The part of the ice cube in the water melts faster than the ice in the air, but as the ice cube melts, it sinks further down. If you supported the ice to prevent it from sinking, you could see the portion of the ice in the water would melt more quickly than the part in the air.
