Ethanol is alcohol with the molecular formula C2H5OH. It exists as liquid in room temperature. It is neutral by nature and hence shows no effect on litmus paper. 

The NaHCO3 or the sodium bicarbonate test is a test for acids. Ethanoic acid exhibits effervescence in the presence of sodium bicarbonate which proves its acidic nature. Ethanol shows no effervescence in the presence of sodium bicarbonate. This test is used to prove the neutrality of alcohol.
