      assuming its the same liquid then it depends on who quick you mix.
      If you put it in so they both mix up then the temperature will quickly even out throughout.
      If you add it really slowely so they don;t mix, then the cold will sink and the hot will stay on top and you;ll evetually end up with the gradual temperature gradietn accorss the lots
