The cold does a few things. Most importantly, it keeps the alcohol from having any evaporation. Alcohol fumes are disgusting in any drink, even shots.

But the chill also helps reduce the pain of alcohol on contact with the mouth's surface (think listerine) and reduces the odor which can be mildly unpleasant with many vodkas.

The take home here is vodka kind of sucks. That's why there is Johnny Walker.
