No this is not an ideal solution, because water and alcohol (ethanol) molecules interact rather complex resulting in eg. an azeotropic boiling point at 96% mixture

Will ethanol float or sink?

Ethanol is less dense than water so it will initially float on a water surface. Given that ethanol is totally miscible with water, an ethanol layer on top of a water layer will diffuse into the water while the water will diffuse into the ethanol until a single uniform composition solution of alcohol and water is achieved.
