Best Answer

You can put the sugar and salt mixture into isopropanol. The sugar will dissolve very well, but the salt will not. The liquid can be poured off leaving solid salt - to obtain the sugar you would let the isopropanol evaporate.
Sugar is organic and will dissolve in organic solvents such as alcohol. Salt will not. Mix it with an organic solvent such as alcohol and filter it and you will be left with salt, then distill the remaining mixture to be left with sugar and your solvent.
