Warm drink (7)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3,9

cordial

I believe this is a double definition.

'warm' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'drink' is the second definition.
(cordial is a kind of drink)

(Other definitions for cordial that I've seen before include "drink with a fruity flavour" , "Friendly; fruit drink" , "Warm and friendly; drink" , "Agreeable - drink" , "Pleasant - soft drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Independent and The Times.
