It depends on the proportions and which of the liquids you need at the end. The likelihood is that the alcohol will have emulsified the oil and water so the starting material will have no layers. The method often used to separate mixtures of liquids is fractional distillation, though it's not possible to produce completely pure alcohol by this method. If you don't need the water you can first remove it with a drying agent.
