What kind of volume are you looking at? I seem to recall somewhere that MeOH does not form an azeotrope with water - if this is the case (and you don't get ternary azeotropes as well), could you not just distill it off?

See e.g. http://www.chem.queensu.ca/PROGRAMS/UG/Firstyearlabs/112&116/labman/manual/lab5/index.htm ?

Or what about pyridinium salt solubilities in MeOH / H2O - acidify the liquid??
