Yes. Potassium iodide is readily soluble in ethanol and in methanol, the two most common alcohols. The saturation concentration is higher in methanol than in ethanol, i.e., you can dissolve more potassium iodide in the former than in the latter. Potassium iodide-alcohol solutions are widely used in the construction of electrolytic tilt sensors, which require a stable ionic solution for proper operation.
