Definately test with straight water. Temperature isn't anywhere near as important as specific heat when it comes to cooling.

Water has almost twice the specific heat of ethanol meaning it takes almost twice as much energy to increase the temperature of the same mass of water by the same amount as the ethanol. This is also compounded by the fact that the ethanol is less dense than water.

Specific heats:
Water
4200 joules/kg/kelvin

Ethanol
2400 joules/kg/kelvin

A fifty fifty mix by volume of Ethanol and water will also have a density of around 930 grams/Litre rather than 1kg/L for straight water.
