"total gerne" is an expression a German speaker would never use. Sehr gerne, wirklich gerne would fit the bill.

But I always thought that the last noun determined the gender of the "noun train."
However, in this example, "trinke" and "gerne" have nothing to do with the masculinity or femininity of the juice: "Trinke" is simply the first person singular of "trinken" and, on "gern," the extra "e" is optional.
However, had there been an article in front of "Bananensaft," it would have had to reflect the accusative "den" or "einen."

Indeed, the last noun does determine the gender of the whole word.
Sharon was asking about the first element of the -saft words being plural, not the whole word. Jim365236 explained that those particular sources of juice happened to be feminine rather than plural.
No. According to responses/comments I read from other users on this forum and also from the link I gave below there is no difference. Gerne is the regular form and gern is just a colloquial variation.

Is this like a smoothie? Or literally a less viscous juice? How do you say smoothie in german?

Should the direct object "Bananensaft" be placed at the end of the sentence. I have noticed in quite a lot of exercises that direct object, when material or thing, are being placed at the end of the sentences.
