Probe them with a multimeter.
 
Write this down somewhere. I taped it to the wall above my work desk until I could remember.
 
Tip left
Ring right
Sleeve ground
 
You could also play a song you are familiar with after building the cable. Its kind of startling how few people can identify flipped L&R in an unfamiliar stereo (like when you go to a friends house to listen to his new $25000 speakers {that are wired wrong}). Spend some time with this one, Impress your friends. You only need to remember 2 or 3 aural cues on a couple pieces of music...
