Wierd question but, the mixture would be a homogeneous mixture, both salt NaCl and sugar (alpha D-glucose) are perfectly soluble in water. NaCl because it dissociates into ions, and these ions are perfectly hydrated and glucose has many hydroxyl groups, with which it can hydrogen bond effectively with water molecules.
So it will be a clear solution with a shitty taste.
