cordial
Friendly and sincere
Cordial describes warmth and friendliness, especially the polite kind shown to guests or acquaintances: a cordial greeting, cordial relations between the two countries.
The warmth is genuine but measured—cordial suggests civility more than deep affection.
As a noun, a cordial is a sweet liqueur or, in British usage, a concentrated fruit drink diluted with water.
