Diethyl ether cannot participate in hydrogen bonding with water. It also has nonpolar side chains which are not attracted to the polar molecule water. Diethyl ether is soluble with water to some extent (6.9g/100mL) but is not miscible.

∙ 10y agoDistilled liquor is made by taking some fermented beverage such as wine or beer and then distilling some of the water out of it, to give a higher remaining concentration of ethyl alcohol. So this kind of distillation is done all the time (indeed, a distillery is a place where this is done). It is therefore peculiar that you are asking why it can't be done.
