Jus de Citron -  Lemon juice: fresh, bottled, canned, or inside one of those squeezable plastic lemons. 

Citron Pressé  – On a hot day in France, consider a citron pressé, more than freshly squeezed lemon and ice-cold water, much more. Order a citron pressé, and freshly squeezed lemon juice will be served alongside a jug of chilled water, some ice, and sugar to taste. A citron pressé, as simple as it is to make, is a unique French creation.

You may say that fresh lemon juice and water is a drink that you could have anywhere, and that is true. However, in France, you will learn the effect of a citron pressé, drunk slowly, on a hot day, while watching the world go by from a sidewalk café in Paris or a café on the Cote d'Azur. There, a citron pressé has an effect that can only be described as magical. I have made citron pressé at home and drunk freshly squeezed lemon juice in many lands and many situations. The "terroir" of France does something to a citron pressé that is unique; that effect has much to recommend it.

Jus de Fruits - Fruit juices, usually bottled fruit juices. Check the label notes. If the label read

Jus de Fruits de Nectar – Nectar; canned or bottled fruit juices. Nectars contain fruit juice, sugar, and water. By law, the actual amount of fruit juice must be above 20%. The taste may be great, but do not expect to receive the real Greek nectar that was the drink of the ancient Greek gods!

Jus de Fruits Frais Pressés Freshly squeezed fruit juices.

 Jus de Fruits Pressés dans l'Instant – Fresh fruit juices prepared at your request.

Jus de Pommes Apple juice, bottled or canned. Cidre is cider in French.
