Obviously slang; we'll need the context.

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
It's not 'juice', but it's similar...
to jump ahead
jump clear...
battery running out of juice
check the taps
Can't we say "Milk is rotten"?
What the meaning of the word "jump"...
What does this mean?
quantum
Spring...?
I KNOW THE MEANING BUT NOT THE WORD!
"Gone is the image..." what's that...

From the recesses of my mind which may well be very unreliable, I seem to remember the combination of 'jump, juice and jive' - something to do with the early days of bunny-hop, jive and rock and roll.
'jump juice' is also a slang term for coffee and the name then developed into several different types of stimulant drugs, such as speed - later it got toned down into the name for high-energy drinks like Red Bull.
From a Google search it's also used in fantasy gaming as something you have to collect and use for sudden fast manoevres, as a guess.
Lastly though without any sort of evidential support, I have a vague memory of it being used for the name of high-octane fuel, which is doped with various additives, used in dragster racing.
That may all be stuff and nonsense and I'm quite happy to accept that I'm wrong - but if noone else knows anything better, it may help.
Google also shows that it's the name for a racing yacht and has been used for some sort of high-energy cereal bars, which I've never heard of.
