the atmosphere determines rate of evaporation.

if the atmosphere is as dense as a liquid within the atmosphere there is no evaporation at all.

on earth, cooler atmospheres are generally less dense, so it's not cooling the liquid alcohol as much as providing it with a supply of less dense atmosphere that will make a liquid, alcohol, evaporate faster.

on the extreme, putting a liquid into a vacuum will cause it to almost immediately evaporate, a.k.a. standardize the temperature and pressure of its atmosphere.

there is really no such thing as evaporation as much as there is homogenization, standardization, of its atmosphere.
