I haven’t read the article, but I think the difference in temperature matters. Hot beverages perceived as hot through your tongue will make you sweat more/faster than cold beverages.

Yeah, this. Hot drinks make you sweat from feeling hotter internally, which will cool you off if it’s not humid where you are.

I would think an ice cold spicy drink would be most effective
