One method that was commonly used in the past was that of rote learning. Essentially this is learning something by "heart". Unfortunately in this case this requires repetition, which can be time consuming and requires you to repeatedly recite the multiplication table over and over again (either out loud or in your head) until you can recite it from memory. However it does work (eventually).
The website added as a related link has some tips on how to make rote learning of the multiplication table more fun and less time consuming.

When I was growing up, we had to memorize the full set of multiplication tables from 1 to 12. Multiplication Tables are standard 1 to 12 (not 1 to 100). Students must learn the times tables for 1 to 12, before they can apply those tables for 13 through to any number.You can find Multiplication Tables 1-12 online or as charts for sale. Or, do what we did as kids: make your own chart and color or decorate the chart.
It isn't necessary, nor particularly useful. Once you know the multiplication tables for one-digit numbers, you can do multiplication on paper for larger numbers. The time spent to memorize such multiplication tables for larger numbers would be better spent learning more advanced math concepts.
Very carefully.
