You can quickly experience it yourself by holding an ice cube in each hand but pouring salt on one of them. While both cubes contain approximately the same deficit of energy, the salted one with the lower equilibrium temperature will pull heat out of your hand much faster and feel much colder. I guess you could always put it in two cups too.

Almost. For the salted cube, remember to pour the salt on your hand and then put the ice cube on top.
