A sec or demi sec champagne will be sweeter and more "fruity" than a brut, which is dry in taste. Any asti from italy will be even sweeter, someone mentioned Asti Spumante made by martini rossi, that's a decent choice, the idea that it's too expensive is laughable though as it a $12 bottle or $22 magnum, other good asti's are nando and "Mondoro", mondoro being my favorite.

To make a fruity Mimosa you can use any champange...champagne is made from grapes...so I suppose it is fruity. There are no 'Fruity" types of champagnes...just those punches that you add fruit to.
MIMOSA
Chilled champagne
Orange juice
Add equal amounts of champagne and orange juice to a chilled, stemmed goblet. For passion mimosa substitute passion fruit juice for orange juice; garnish with a strawberry.
Brut — This is the most popular style of champagne. The best blends are always reserved for the brut and is the mainstay of the business. It has less than 1.5% residual sugar and is very dry.
Extra Dry, Extra Sec — Sweetened with 1.2 to 2% residual sugar per liter, it is dry. It goes well with desserts and wedding cakes.
Sec — Although it means "dry" in French, it means "moderately dry" or "slightly sweet" as it pertains to champagne. It has 1.7 to 3.5% residual sugar per liter.
Demi-Sec — This style is distinctly sweet or medium sweet and is rarely seen in the United States. It contains between 3.3 to 5% residual sugar per liter.
Doux — This is the sweetest style of champagne. It is very sweet and is more of a dessert-style wine. It has a minimum of 5% residual sugar per liter.

She may have used a desert champagne, like Asti Spumante, but it's very pricey to be watered down with orange juice. Just get Henckell Troken or Freixenet, they are around $12 a bottle and are good.

A rose champagne might be a bit fruitier. You can also avoid a dry champagne. (Of course its unlikely you had Champagne at all, but rather just sparkling wine. Champagne only comes from the Champagne region in France)

Gruet. It's from Mew Mexico and is really good. About $14 from Columbus Wines (96th & Columbus) in NYC

Since you are mixing it with orange juice and an orange liquor, I would get any brand of either Extra Dry or Brut. That should work well.
