Solution

Ice floats on water because density of ice is less than water. In common language we can say ice floats on water because it is lighter than water.

Similiarly, ice sink in liquid, where density of ice is greater than the liquid.
Therefore ice can sink in liquids such as kerosene oil, alcohol, ammonia etc... because density of ice is greater than these liquids.
