If you have ever dunked cookies into milk or asked your mom for the pink milk, the odds are that Nesquik has been a part of it at some point. Now, there is something about Nestle Nesquik Strawberry Syrup 22 oz that just resonates with me—it's a sweet treat without the sugar overload, it brings back memories, and, let's face it, it makes a bland glass of milk something children (and I'm not just saying adults!) can actually look forward to.

I did get one bottle a few months ago when my daughter snapped and wouldn't take her regular chocolate milk, and that's where this strawberry syrup now lives in the fridge door.

What Exactly Is Nesquik Strawberry Syrup?

If you've never experienced the thick, pourable syrup before, Nesquik Strawberry Syrup is the intense, strawberry-flavored, thick syrup that is added to a glass of cold milk. The 22 oz bottle is widely available and provides enough syrup for dozens of servings. 

The syrup version doesn't require the older generation to scoop with a spoon to dissolve, unlike the powdered version. Milk does not need to be stirred for five minutes when it gets warm; simply squeeze it, stir once or twice, and you're done.

Taste and Texture: Does It Actually Taste Like Strawberry?

It's the first question that most people ask, and it's an appropriate one: a lot of "strawberry-flavored" food and drink products sound like cough syrup. Nesquik somehow manages not to fall into that trap. The taste isn't quite tart or natural but more of a sweet, confectionery kind of taste, which is a good thing, as it is meant for children, really.

It's very thick, like chocolate syrup, so a little goes a long way. Two tablespoons of milk in an 8-oz glass of milk will provide that familiar light pink hue and a strong enough flavor that you won't miss it, but it will not overpower the milk.

Why the 22 oz Size Makes Sense

A lot of people overlook bottle size when shopping, but it actually matters here. The Nestle Nesquik Strawberry Syrup 22 oz bottle is in the middle of the travel size and 50 lb jugs that fill up half of your fridge shelf. This size will last for about 3-4 weeks for a one- or two-person family drinking flavored milk a few times per week.

It's not expensive either, either over time or in comparison to purchasing smaller bottles over and over again as time goes on.

Ways to Use It Beyond Just Milk

This syrup is used for flavoring milk, but most people buy it for this reason only; it's actually much more versatile.

• Milkshakes: Mix a few tablespoons with vanilla ice cream and milk and enjoy an instant strawberry milkshake that tastes better than most fast-food milkshakes.
• Waffle and pancake topping: Add pancakes in the morning to this mix for a fun topping for waffles.
• Use to make yogurt mix-ins: Mix a little into plain yogurt to give it some extra flavor without having to purchase flavored yogurt cups.
• Baking: Some people use it to swirl into cake batter or use it as a base for glaze for cupcakes. It may be used in these ways, but it is quite sweet on its own, so try out amounts if you want to use it in this way.

A Few Honest Tips Before You Buy

• Shake the bottle lightly before first use since the syrup can settle slightly during shipping or storage.
• Store it in the fridge after opening — it keeps the texture consistent, and the flavor doesn't fade as quickly.
• Don't overdo the squeeze. It's tempting to pour heavily for a stronger flavor, but two tablespoons is usually the right balance before it tips into overly sweet territory.
• Keep the cap clean. Like most syrups, it can get a little sticky around the nozzle if you're not wiping it down occasionally.
